Anyone good with Photo shop? Can somone make this rim grey like the R rims?

 

I'm not the best.

 

That looks awesome Thanks!!!!
I like the touch of the new style center cap as well.

 

Yeah they look good.

 

Now if I can find the paint that dark the wifes white car will be sporting them soon.

 

Ah man, you're not taking those Columbas off are your?

 

They will be going on the wifes car.
I can't ever keep the names for all the rims in Memory.
Have to much other important stuff to remember.

Thanks I am going to try a can of Duplicolor a buddy bought for me a while ago and see how dark it is.
If I like it I will do them in that color if not then I might buy that stuff but pretty expensive. I can buy 3 cans of the other stuff for one can of the OEM stuff.

 

The only ones I know the names of are Titans (T5R wheels), Volans (96-97 850 R wheels), Columbas (Standard 850 Turbo wheels) and Pegasus which come in 17" and 18", but not sure what car they came on. I would like to get a set of 17" Pegs for my T5R cause they look quite a bit like Titans, but I hear they are better wheels. Heard many say the Titan just bend too easy.

 

Tech, I once tried Duplicolor on my black bumper and I was extremely disappointed with its colour & feeble durability.

Painting involves a great deal of steps, which I'm sure you know fromyour body shop buddies. I usually paint in the following sequence:

- Clean the object to be painted good with detergent solution & clean water. Wipe dry with dry cloth and let it air-dry.

- Sand the surface lightly with #1500 grid paper.

- Spray little-by-little. Spraying in one thick coat is the best way to ruin the project. I usually apply 5-6 thin coats. Between each coat, I let the paint dry for 20 minutes or so, depending on the ambient temp & humidity.

- Spray the sprayed object with clear coat, after making sure the original paint has dried fully.

- With plastic polishing compound, lightly polish the clear coat until unevenness is gone.

This is how I do it. Other members may know better ways.
