Refurbing Turbines - What color?



  Suzuki Ignis Sport
Closing a deal on a set of turbines that need a good refurb.

Planning on refurbing them, and selling them on.

What color do you think i should do them to make them sell worthy?

Don't worry, they won't go on the car! :)

Silver turbines on a valver look so so good...Seen one with a machined lip and also looked smart.
 
  Suzuki Ignis Sport
Yeah I was thinking standard silver.

Does anyone know what the color is nearest to standard silver?

I'm doing the refurb myself, so the only cost will be blood, sweat and cans of spray ;)

Don't spray them!!!!

just polish them up nice and bright, I did this to a set and fitted them to my 5 Turbo and they looked awesome
 
do them matt black!!

i refurbed my old turbines in matt black, then i got bored, and did them white.. looked good for a while, but got dirty very quickly.. pain in the rear to clean tbh.

I dont think you will sell them for more then 100 if they come without tyres.

Turbines with a polished lip = sarx !
A dude on here had a set that were either dark blue or black with a polished lip on them, omg !! Stunning just wasn't the word !

Coming from me who usually hates them !
