In particular, the 2.0 variety. Kinda thinking about it. Pics would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Put up a good side shot of your car. One of the photoshop guru's here would probably make it happen for ya

Thanks Gents,

Nathan, that gives a good representation, thanks. Miley, where'd you get the center caps?

Thanks,

Joe

I like what you did there mikey63. I am preping right now. This shot is after I did the #80 sand blast. I plan to polish the raised leafs and rim and paint the rest a little darker silver than the original.

Back in '80-85 my 1st six, signal orange car, had the Fuchs backgrounds painted to match the car. Looked good then -I would not do that now.

How did you do that stripe...I like it. Red stripe on a blacked out wheel?? hmmm...

Posted by: 7TPorsh Jan 12 2012, 05:32 PM

Black on Black...would love to do that red stripe thing.

I used a pin stripe brush and rotated the wheel as I painted. Blacked out wheels with a red stripe would be cool.

Mike,

Subtle. I like the orange line on the rim. Kind of brings out or highlights the orange of the car. Peeeerty!

Posted by: wingnut86 Jan 12 2012, 07:06 PM

Candy the stripe and add silver or gold pearl luminescence...

Can you put up a pic of your car; even without the wheels?

Posted by: Grelber Jan 13 2012, 07:45 AM

Here are mine right after I got them refinished. L96M, Marathon Blue Metallic. I have now converted to 5 lug, so these are for sale (with correct lug bolts and center caps).

Pictures with the car color as well?

Posted by: Jeffs9146 Jan 13 2012, 10:56 AM

I painted mine back in the early 80's!

Here you are:

The only one I have is a crappy garage pic of the wheel on the car. I converted to 5 lug right after this.

Ok someones got to do it....

Posted by: tod914 Jan 13 2012, 02:22 PM

Love when they are all satin black with a polished trim ring. An example of it one of the 914 books I have, on an CANAM edition car.

I like it

I dont however enjoy all the touchup that is required years later, and so I just polished the damn thing and said "forgettaboutit"

Posted by: pnewman Jan 13 2012, 09:03 PM

I see you converted from the new style bumpers to the older. Good move.

If you still had black bumpers vs the chrome ones I would vote to go black. Easy touch up and very forgiving. Donworryboutit.
