Painted my rims... opinions?
 

So I've been thinking about what I wanna do with this car next year once the weather gets nice again... especially in terms of rims. I had a thought that bronze would look good with the blue, so I decided to do a sample... photoshop just isn't the same effect so I decided to paint my stock wheels bronze instead. Then at least I have something that sets me out a bit for the winter, as well.

For those interested I used 100 grit sand paper, followed by 220 grit, to sand down the wheels nice and smooth... and then bronze duplicolor wheel paint. I only used about 2 coats of paint on the rims, and it got cold as I was finishing so there's a bit of run on the rims but you don't notice that in the pics I have. Also I think I only let them cure for about 5-10 minutes before I drove... still no flaking though even after a car wash.

Onto pics...




I'll get close ups later. I only have my cell to take pics cuz my camera is busted so next time I think of it I'll snap a close-up.

Painted my rims... opinions?

It looks stupid.

I wouldn't say it looks stupid, but the color is not my style. Might be nice if blue and gold are local sports team colors or something, but otherwise I would probably go back to silver myself.

hmmm different but I think the colors are bad together. A little 80's if ya know what I mean but as long as your don't get any larger rims the same color

I like it, but there again it's not my car.

i would have went higher than 220.

it looks alright, but for that project, I would have went with a brighter gold, not bronze.

it looks ok

I dig.... i REALLY dig.... i like that a LOT

I like it. The dark bronze goes good with the dark blue. Some nice bronze or gold 18's would be awesome on there.

if thats the color scheme your going to do your car in... awesome.

if thats the only thing thats going to be that color on your car.... horrible.

looks good, i like em

Ehhh, Just buy some rims. Not horrible...

^^QFT!

I like it

That's a funny looking Subie... :p

I like it.

That's Awesome..

SUBIE?!

lol... not the right bronze and the blue is just... ohhh... just a TINY bit from WRC blue

I like it but like others have said...I hope something ties into that color!

i dont think it looks bad at all
