Hi all

I refurbed my genuine style 87 4.6IS wheels last week as they were looking a little sorry for them selves and I went for a complete change from silver to high gloss black and I wanted to do this little addition at the same time but the spray booth was only free for the one evening so I was limited by time so just went straight black and now I'm considering adding this other addition this Saturday.

I knocked up a template out of masking tape of the recess on the face of the wheel then sprayed the template away from the car and then stuck it back on to get a better idea of how it might look bear in mind it's not lacquered and the bolt holes and badge are not shown.

How they look black (I know not everyone's a fan of black but I'm just after comments on the alteration):



My template I made up:



Sprayed body colour steel Grey and popped back on the wheel:

It might look better in reverse - if you see what I mean.  Using the plain alloy with black 'accents'?

Body colour is Sterling Grey...or should be.

It's definitely Steel Grey (colour code 400) Sterling Grey (colour code 472) is a face lift colour 2003>
