Paint flicked alloys

[Scott™]

It's where you spray an alloy one colour ie white. And you then flick paint all over it. Saw it on a couple of cars at FCS.

Whats peoples thoughts? I kinda like it.

[Scott™]

Just a set of 172 rims. Sprayed gloss black with mondial blue flicks. It looks sexy as.

Spray the alloy, then I got a pot of paint made up from Halfords and flick it on with a brush.

Non yet mate, the rest are still in paint.

[Jon.G]

[penaul]

[Bren Rogers]

Doesn't look right with black IMO.. needs to be on white I reckon.

 

[Scott™]

Thanks for the comments lads.

 

[DrewBear11]

That looks f**king awesome ! really like that man !

 

[Addz]

Ermm not sure on that yet! Might look better when its on the car

 

[Rob]

I bloody love it. Good work.

 

[Will.]

That is awesome mate! The blue really goes with the black. Nicely done.

 

[Scott™]

Cheers lads, I think they are going to be a love/hate item. The finish isn't fantastic by any means but more than good enough to get me through the next 3/4 months non the less. Just put another coat of laquer on the other three.

 

[Scott™]

And a couple finished with more pics as requested.

 

[Vicky.]

Will be good to see these on the car. You can't really tell how they'll look from just seeing them on their own. Good job though!

 

[jonny_rs]

will be good to see them on the car!

I like them

 

[BIFCAIDS]

looks FAPPIN awesome mate

 

[will.clio!]

Really like that, was thinking about doing something like that with mine.

Very different

 

[Tunst]

love them

 

[ekaJ]

Awesome!

Want really bad but feel bad copying

 

[Ben]

Can't wait to see them fitted tbh.

 

[Kane.]

Have you used just normal primer paint and lacquer from rattle cans ? Thinking about doing something like this when my 172 alloys get here, if you dont mind of course

 

[Scott™]

Yes mate just rattle can spray! They are only winter wheels for about 3 months then back on with the turinies!

 

[vail3r]

They turned out pretty damn good tbh! Geed effort..

 

[mat-nos]

they look awesome, are they smooth or are the blue flicks raised?
how much laquer have you used??

thinking of doing similar with flat black base and anthricite flicks next year....

 

[Scott™]

Haha I love how all these *its something i've been thinking of doing* posts have appeared. The blue flicks are ever so slightly raised but it looks awsome. And I used a few cans mate.

 

[Scrooge]

Im surprised I like it, Ill await judgement until I see them on the car.
