Phizinza Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I'm acquiring a set of 14" Jackman's for my red Brumby. They need a blast and paint. Trying to decide on colour. So far it's either white, matte gunmetal, copper. Thoughts? I'm leaning towards matte gunmetal. Copper will probably stand out too much and it's not a show piece of a car, just a work ute. White does look good, but it's quite normal. Heres the car, and heres the wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweety Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Powdercoated white is the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rust Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I painted mine gold, to match the gold subaru pillar stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I kindly suggest you to paint 'em in Gunmetal grey but not in Matte. A Shiny finish is more durable and easier to keep cleaner... Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg454 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 (edited) I did mine in black with chrome trim rings. I think it turned out nice. Edited June 26, 2015 by greg454 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 I do like the chrome trim but they aren't so good when you are bashing the car off the beaten track. I like that blue you have mate. Pink, hahahaha... Maybe.... No. I don't want metallic, as it will stand out too much from my gloss red. Maybe I could do a dark gloss grey, similar shade to gunmetal? White is classic, but kinda boring as well. And you have to do a slight off white which is has to get colour matched as the paint shop doesn't have an off white standard wheel colour. If you want to wire me $400 Tony I'll get them powder coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I tried to Powder Coat the 15" Aluminium wheels I obtained for my "BumbleBeast" and it was very expensive locally, so I ended painting them, with the help of a special aluminium Primer, in non-metallic Glossy Black for heavy machinery, to bear the rude use at my offroadings, but I added a yellow trim on their outer lips, to match my Wagon's Radioactive Yellow colour. So, maybe you can paint yours in Black, and add a Red accent as well. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subnz Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) White like mine but the grey wheels that are on it look good to and would be a more practical colour for daily use ie not showing dirt grime etc Edited June 27, 2015 by subnz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 What happened to your Brumby (Brat) Photo? ... I did mine in black with chrome trim rings. I think it turned out nice. ... it turned onto Butterflies! Or was that your Colour Scheme inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 (edited) Well, the Photo of the Brumby is Back! ... No more butterflies.

dfoyl Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I had white on my 14" pugs, and powder coated ($400 ? I think I paid something like $100 for the set of 4, but I did have them fully sand blasted and ready to coat), but that was to match the white canopy (topper to the US guys). I don't have the canopy fitted any more, and now run gloss black with chrome lips (like greg454, but I have alloys rather than jackmans/wagon wheels). In hindsight I think gunmetal grey would have been a bit more modern looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phizinza Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 I have had three quotes from local powdercoaters. I dismissed the cheapest one as I used to work for a place which sold powdercoated fences and had many many many issues with that companies powdercoating. The highest price included gritblasting and two layers of coating, that was $750 for the 5 rims. For $400 I can get the 5 rims single coated (standard) through a company we used to have good luck with. The cheapest I can get just the gritblasting done is $30 a rim, that's already $120.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Those sky high prices for quality Jobs, was the reason why I dismissed the Powder Coating idea for my Wheels... Have you considered a good, Strong painting Job? I used industrial grade, Heavy machinery paint with great results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 JesZek, I plan on getting some industrial 2 pack urethane paint, like I painted the car with. I have plenty of the primer for it still. But if I can't get that one in a small enough quantity in the colour I want for the price I am willing to pay I'll probably just end up getting some tough enamel. Very clean looking Brumby there dfoyl, it looks good. But I don't think I want to go the black. It's a toss up between white and grey now. I'm guessing the price of the paint will determine which colour I go... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phizinza Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 The Superlites? Over here in Aus they aren't so rare. I didn't want to run alloy wheels or 15's so I sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
