Twenty Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 white wheels + white car = and calipers are definitely better with paint. I've got to do something to my calipers to freshen them up. Something else to add to the list for next spring. Black may not be an attention grabbing colour, but with things like this you sure notice when they're not black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black may not be an attention grabbing colour, but with things like this you sure notice when they're not black. BLACK FOR SURE I still dont understand why anyone would want to call attention to the ugly cheap brakes that come stock on most cars. Black paint is best IMO, silver is a close second, rust is FTL and anything else is for boy racers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didnt consider that, its not a ridiculous color but still pretty bright. They would end up dirty as hell in a couple weeks and I wouldnt clean them for at least 6 months on my car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am hoping to paint the whole car and get the rims done while the car is being painted. Why would it be hard to match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 olds vert Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 I am fairly colorblind, I hard time telling darker colors apart, Like blue and black or even dark shades of red or orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeremy Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 FYI: ....next time you wanna paint something, paint your rear back up light panel body color....I am actually surprised that your panel is black, most 3.4s are body colored.......it will make your car look a lot better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakdown Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 white wheels + white car = and calipers are definitely better with paint. That is what I thought. My buddy painted his wheels white on his '94 gtp. I thought they looked great! They won't look great . . . . .they'll look awesome. Do it, and seriously for all of the nay-sayers out there. If he doesn't do it because of you, I will come and kill each of your in your sleep. Can't wait to see the end results. BTW - How to you paint them the same colour, they're plain aluminium rims I sincerely doubt that you'll be able to paint the yourself and have them look anything close to stock. Two bonus points if you buy sawblades and make 'em white . . . . Minus eleventy-billion points if you're dumb enough to think that I'm talking about GP sawblades.

94 olds vert Posted November 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 My dad wants to take them to the shop he used to work at. I was thinking about in the center leaving the emblem red and putting a white rocket in the center. Kinda like I did to my emblem already.

94 olds vert Posted November 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 Was vacuuming my car, and I got thinking can't have rusty screws. The results are better than before, I like it a lot better than rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted November 15, 2009 Report Share Posted November 15, 2009 So did you get new screws? Because I bet if you just took them to a wire wheel they would clean up just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a wire brush to them, and painted them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
