Bling or tarty?
Mark Allanson - 20/3/05 at 09:16 PM

Well! I couldn't resist it, I had to do a special effect on something, and I chose the wheels. I put down a really coarse silver basecoat, followed by a clearcoat with holographic silver with some blue metalflake added. A nice heavy clear to seal it all in. They look a sort of gunmetal colour until sunlight falls on them, then they sparkle like diamonte jewellery Rescued attachment Bling.jpg

Never seen it, I havent got SKY!, I always wanted to do a special on something, but never had either the time/money/equipment until now, but chickened out on the main paintwork, I wonder if anyone will notice when the car is in motion with the wheels spinning!

Hmmmm....I always thought bling and tarty meant exactly the same.....

Very nicely done, but not my cup of tea...

I think they look blarty. Youve managed a careful fusion of bling and tarty!!! put them on and gauge the re-action at the shows. I think i like them, will be nice to see them on the car in sun light.

Just have to get the tyres on without removing big chunks of paint and stay away from kerbs!


Spyderman - 21/3/05 at 10:27 PM

I like it!

Very nice!
I'm from the early custom glitter paint era as well!

You can practice on my wheels if you like!

I cannot help kerbs, but I painted the wheels with the tyres on. I got them fitted and balanced with adhesive weights on the inside, and the rebroke the top bead, masked up and painted them. I you look at the first picture, you can see the tyre Rescued attachment Bling4.JPG
