calling photoshop masters

Postby atm » Sat Nov 11, 2006 11:45 am

Want to paint my NC rims a gun metal finish. Probably not the best pic,
but all i have today and no photoshop.

I'd also thought about white, but i think the end result would be a touch panda. Can someone help me out.

thanks a lot.
The grey colour is spot on. Had a set of Enkei rims on a car i had a while ago and they were that colour. I've also tinted the car since that photo, the darker rims will give it more of a \"sleeper\" look and much cheaper than a set of wheels. Looks like i'll be ringing the painter on Monday!

I'm going to buy some cheapish 16's to fit some semi slicks for track days, rather put the $$ there than on new rims for the road. Anyone set up a NC this way? Any suggestions on tyre choice and/or cheap light wheels greatly appreciated. 16's the way to go?

Those gunmetal rims look sexy as. Even better with a dark coloured car. Good choice.
