New Wheel

[theduck]

So I picked up a spare wheel on Sunday from Kelly off Clio197.net, it was slightly kerbed but that didn't bother me as I wanted one to have a go at refurbishing partly for the fun of having a go at it, and partly as a trial for the colour. As some of you may have gathered from my recent photoshop I was considering racing blue, but, the powers that be (MrsDuck) and a few fellow members on here managed to persuade me that as I already had a tin of capsicum red paint, that was the way to go.

So Monday night I rubbed it down, tuesday I put on the primer and last night I sprayed it Capsicum Red. Unfortunately I didnt have enough capsisum red left But I had enough to get a half decent finish ready for today to have one of my old Contis put on when i had my front tyres changed today. So anyway heres the result, it needs some more coats of paint, but I need it as a spare now for tomorrow as I am driving to Devon, so thats got to wait untill I am back. Anyway enough waffle. Comments appreciated.

Excellent job IMO :approve:

looks nice, good work! i reckon white 197 with red wheels could be cool.

 

[Naith]

now do the others ffs

 

[theduck]

Looking for a new set now so I can do the others. Seen some available but imo the ones for sale at the moment they want too much for.

i like mate, think it will look cool with some more red touches around the car?

 

[clio_luke]

i think white/black/red will look awesome!

 

[iimushroomzii]

That looks good Just do them one at a time so you dont need another set

Possible.... Have some ideas just need time and replacement parts to do them with

Wanting to keep standard parts so I can put it back to standard if I ever get rid.

 

[Bodge!]

Not keen!

I don't think they will go too well but it is a very good effort on the refurb.

R27-R replica type thing??

I think you're onto a winner dude.

 

[theduck]

Have to say am surprised the amount of positive feedback

 

[wfcmeady]

I like it, it's bold, i like that.

Also, was that your first go at refurbishing? If so....teach me!!

 

[theduck]

indeed it was. Have sprayed a set of bullets before, but this is my first attempt at anything big.

Need at least 3 more first

 

[VeinAST]

Right, I didnt save the PSD file on this but maybe some inspiration for you, about 15 minutes work all in all and I wont edit the pic but tried to get the reds in the same mood as the rest of the pics!

 

[theduck]

^^ That does look very good!!

Not sure its what I'll do, but something to think about!

 

[dajones]

i love the wheels and the photoshop i think its the year for random wheel colours

 

[superbenji88]

[Kerryclio]

Think it would look awesome red wheels on there own or the above shop

 

[AlexHealy]

Looks like a top job mate.

 

[theduck]

Plans are in the making

Still looking for more wheels....

 

[Shorty_Irl]

The wheels in the chop look more coppery colour than capsicum red. Maybe its just my eyesight. How about mounting the red one you have on the car and take a piccy so we can all see and help you decide?

Excellent work though, looks like a very even finish. Wanna spray mine for me

Because bright red wheels on a dark photo would look like an MS Paint effort y0
