spraying wheels...

[titcharoony]

was thinking, the wheels that come with a williams...can u get them new unsprayed? or by default are they a gold model?
in addition to this, when i have mine resprayed n powdercoated etc back to gold, how to they cover up/ and treat the chromey rim around the outside?

You can get Prima silver ones, tiny bit different though. Not sure about original Speedlines, one of the others will know no doubt.

williams speedlines are gold when purchased from renault.

also the rim is diamond cut and then clear lacquered...

hmm initally...but for old john my friend who sprays wheels...lol what will he do?

[FATBOY]

what will he do???? you mean the rim????

[Wobba]

I love a mystery...

[titcharoony]

lol, right. the rim of the williams wheels, is a different colour, a mirror/clear laquer chromey finish yeah? was wondering how a guy who sprays wheels up wud get that finish and avoid overspraying the gold. make sense?

[FATBOY]

the rim is the bare metal of the alloy... my guess is the wheel is sprayed gold (trying not to overspray to much on the rim, and the rim is cut after the gold has been done... then the whole wheel is obviously lacquered all at the same time

ahh i see. just seems really quite shiny....mirrored almost

there is a guide on how someone did it himself in the guides section, an interesting read...
