Turbine colour

[Matteh]

Been spending ages stripping my turbines for a refurb and now the time has come to actually paint them

was wondering on colours. after seeing Remedis pics of his white ones, the look good, but dont know if they suit the colour of my car

i've done a photoshop, opinions?

Orig:

White:

Black:

They look good in white but i think black or dark grey might look better against the green.

With a polished lip maybe?

Thought of Anthracite?

Dunno mate they all look nice, personal prefrence ennit. Although dark is nice ppl who dont have know how may mistake them for steels. I like white nice n clean.

 

[Spiezels]

Although u may not give a sh*t about others views soo go with ure heart.

 

[Matteh]

hehe, but i'm currently running some steelies w/ no hubcaps.. looks dire

don't think i could cope with the resemblence tbh.

will do a photoshop of anthacite now, hard colour to do

no idea how to make the lip polished

:edit: comes at very similar to original

If you're keeping the car for a while, have them refurbed in bodywork colour but with a polished lip maybe?

i do have a few cans of 995 floating around, but i think it might be too much green for me to handle

black looks like steelies

they do a bit but not to much.....

and then in dark grey

 

[Middo]

car looks mint freebone ^ tbh i think they'd look nicer in anthracite than black against the green

 

[Djw Dave]

Dark grey for me

 

[Matteh]

well, i've primed the first one in white.

its already showing all the dust, marks etc...

So i think it would just be easier to paint them dark grey again (black looks too much like steelies)

Also, if anyone has seen the inside of a turbine, they will know how fiddly it is. so much so that i cant really get in there to sand. think i'm going to leave the inside bit

I think the white ones are the best tbh, altho a biatch to keep clean!!!

Rob has just put these on his, Kinda suit the car but there may be a wee to bit much black... And yes I know its missing a front wheel stud!
