Poll: What Colour to Refinish OEM 91-92 5Spokes in. *Edit* Mounted onto Supra :)

After seeing that, color match em to the silver on your car...

The lower half of my car isn't Silver its Blue, light blue. Same colour code for the Gay Blue cars.

As much as I love the charcoal I have to agree with you after seeing the photochops

The Charcoal works more on single tone darker color cars


BTW dude I like the two tone look, there are 2 2-tone Suprs in my city I know of, one is Maroon and silver and the other I cant recall but I think it might be blue and silver like yours, I liked the look of both

^ same thing i told poodles the lower half of my car is Gay blue. Now what i can do to make it not as bright is use a dark base coat, and then spray the OEM Silver paint over it. Creating a slightly darker silver so its not as bright.


What do you guys think about that?

OEM silver, as Clip said would look like a fresh pair of sneakers! lol

 

[JDMMA70]

Mdr40z Ill most like get the wheels colour matched when the whole car gets repainted so it matches 100%. It sounds like a good idea id wanna see a photochop though.

Supra90turbo it seems OEM silver is in the lead. Here's what the Silver im going to be using looks like.

I just voted 'Other'.

I say polish them.

My second choice, like others have said, would be to paint match them to the bottom half.

 

[JDMMA70]

Looks like gunmetal is catching up, we'll see where the votes are on Wednesday that's when I start prepping the wheels for paint. Come on people more votes. Feedback, and someone please do me a better photochop.

 

[Poodles]

The problem is that a "color" will clash a bit if it's not the same as the lower part of the car. Maybe polishing is the best way, really tough to say...

 

[JDMMA70]

Ok guys i sprayed a sample of the Dark Silver

OEM Silver

Dark Silver (Its silver in Direct Light, and when you start to move side to side it turns to a shade of gunmetal)

I am liking that darker silver

As the wheels are 16s I think they are best left darker colors, I guess thats another reason I liked them in charcoal, it helps them blend in with the tyres and not draw attention to the fact they are only 16s.

On your car the JDM charcoal may be a little much (though it may actually be spot on you never know) so I'd say use that darker silver in the pic

Maybe do one in each color and see what you prefer?

i'm going with the hyper silver smoked on some of the lexus gx470s when i redo my sawblades

 

[Flateric]

well here ya go, if you want em a little darker just say so, but this is a tinge darker than stock.

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

go with oem silver since your car is two tone the bottom is a light color and I feel that the light color wheels will go good with it good since there at the same level/

 

[JDMMA70]

Poll is still going.

Here are some pics of the Dark Silver in the Sunlight

after seeing it in the sunlight next to the OEM silver im slowly being drawn to it now. I think this is what the OEM silver shouldve been i cant explain it but it looks like it compliments the two colours on my car really well by having a Dark/Light/Dark scheme. Since the OEM wheels are just as bright as the lower part of my car. However by having the silver slightly darker it really changes the overall look for the better i think. Its still very close to OEM silver as you can see so im changing it drastically. Both sides may like it as its close to OEM silver but also has a bit of gunmetal behind it as well.

Opinions?

 

[Flateric]

I sorta see that as lighter than oem silver due to the metalic property of it, anyone else see this as lighter appearing?

I like it alot, but I wouldn't call it darker.

 

[Flateric]

Ok, here's a range of them for ya, I personally like the last one best, carf. It suites the lighter color along the bottom of your car more than a darker color.

 

[Flateric]

I'm actually kinda stumped, cause in this image your paint looks far lighter then both the trim or the mag that its in front of.
