Maybe it's not new, but I haven't seen it before.
I love the look of RSR Fuchs. But I can only afford Cookie Cutters right now. So I'm trying to make the best of it, and give the cookie cutters the best chance they will have at looking the part. It's a fun little project. Please let me know what you think. Please note, these are just rough mock-ups at this stage, just to test the concept. If they look good, I will clean them up and paint them nicely. For now, they were just wiped down with a rag, masked, and sprayed. So please don't fret about poor masking, paint imperfections, or the minor curb rash. Here's the first one: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.3.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i255.photobucket.com-2153-1397285660.4.jpg) Yes, my 4 year old and I were doing arts and crafts together. I thought the wheel turned out pretty nice! But it wasn't quite what I was looking for. On this one, I painted the entire lip silver. But I understand that RSR wheels had the outside edge polished. So I decided to try that next: |

We've all seen all black, and blacked out centers with polished lips, but I haven't seen this paint combo before. Looks good (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I like how you did the first wheel, silver painted recesses and lips, but also like the depth on the center on the second wheel. Can't wait to see how they look on the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) One has plenty of options with paint. I'm currently working on a set of MBZ CLK wheels for my westy camper van (named 'Eileen'). Using Rustoleum "High Performance' wheel paint (just doing all silver though). There were too many lip knicks to warrant the $ to polish them, so I just filed them hand scotch-brighted them before painting. |
