Palmy Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) ok then, well its not as expensive as i thought. i want to get 195/50/R15's and thinkin of getting a thin whitewall on them. hey what do you all think about painting the body white behind the grille?? i can't visualise it and don't have adobe so i got no idea what it will look like. or should it stay black?

smeetsy1 Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 I can't remember who does it, but there was someone on the rollaclub who paints there metal behind the grill black... it looks more aesthetic and if its white your going to be receiving all sorts of muck and crap behind there, that could be a pain in the arse.

Mickoolz Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Dude those crystal blinkers are mad they look heaps better then the ones i've got. Any idea what they are off? I see you relocated them as i've done. Nice work looks good! As for the whitewall tyres I had some guy hand me a business card the other month and he specialised in painting them on your existing wheels. He had a range of different colours too. Can't remember the company but its here in Wollongong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickoolz Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 Well if they look good and they work, thats all that matters! Yeah wollongong is a bit far for you, lol, but there would be someone out there that can do the same closer to you. Keep up the good work mate!

Palmy Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 (edited) think i have changed my mind on colour which is bit of a bugger. want a more standing out colour but don't want to copy anyone with there colours. anyone got any ideas on colour? not sure bout blue, jus don't look right i don't think pics of new wheels http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/ro...uy/IMGP0758.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/ro...uy/IMGP0757.jpg Edited January 16, 2008 by Palmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palmy Posted January 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 (edited) Got a bit bored today so i decided to paint a few things etc. i started by painting the brake calipers red with engine enamel which surprisingly came up pretty awesome. The windscreen washer bottle, overflow tank, ignition coil and the 2 round pieces of plastic up on the sides of the bay (dunno what they are), all these went a nice chrome silver. Due to not having a centre cap 4 my new wheels i decided to paint the small hubs on the drums the same silver to kind of match the mags and not look rusted and crap. Jus look at pics and u will understand what I'm blabbin on bout lol :D http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Brakes.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Brakes2.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Brakes3.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Drums.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/ro...y/EngineBay.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Wheels.jpg http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff30/rollaguy/Wheels2.jpg i have finalised the colour i will be painting the corolla and its goin to be a lime green of some sort, will b havin a look next wed or thurs Edited August 3, 2009 by Palmy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
