jimmymac101 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Silver, white and black are the common colours you want to do something completely different mate James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Hand sprayed and the lacquer cracked so looks like an old china plate and getting redone at some pointAlso sprayed one orange first then sanded it back afterwards so the speedline writing is outlined orangeThese ones are sprayed the renault clio cup anthracite but left matte Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scatter Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I Should be picking some of these up on the weekend. Gonna try and spray them matt balck and paint the speedline detail in green (to match car) will post up pics next week hopefully. Was going to use graffitti spray paint, not sure if thats the best thing to do, but its what I know. Was also going to spray splitter, spoiler, wing mirrors, door handles and badges with same paint so it all matches... Anyone got any advice on paint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flynn Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 When people talk about a refurb......how fucked can alloys be before they're beyond it or the price skyrockets? I've got 2 sets of speedlines, one way better than the others and I'd like to get the poor ones refurbished? 2 have been curbed so heavily there's not even any lip left!

I used fluorescent graff paint to do my pink wheels, a year later they have faded but it's good enough. Just be careful it doesn't spit out paint and it stays smooth as the nozzles are different from normal auto spray cans Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amjad Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 I used a medium cap too I think! It was varying between spitting out bubbles and being a really fine spray meaning I had to do it close up lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scatter Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 yeah I hadn't really thought about it untill you mentioned it... the way the paint comes out depends on the pressure applied, that helps artist do detailing etc. Since I'm not a graffitti king I think I might just use car spray, glad I brought this up now. Cheers. I also have a question for you re: grill, will pm you now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
