Painting my Fuchs. Help me choose...
 

I've got my Fuch back from the polisher and I'm ready to paint them. I didn't want them fully polished (too Cal-Look for me :rolleyes: ), so I just had them do the lip and spoke faces. The accent color will be a GM dark metalic grey (thanks plasticfantastic :agree: ). Here are samples of the two paint styles I'm considering. A rendering of my car is on my website under "Projects". Take a look and chime in here with your input...

I can't get the pictures to come up... Maybe it is my computer. :rolleyes:

I like the bottom pic thats how mines are gonna be but in anodized.

I like the ones with the polished lip and spokes. :D

Hey BG what sizes you runnin and are they earlies or laters?

I don't understand the question. If you are inquiring about my wheel selection I have 18" X 10" and 18" X 7.5" turbo twists... :confused:

If you are going with the GM grey, I would paint the whole center like the top wheel. But if you just paid to have the whole wheel polished that might be a waste of $$.

I'd go with the top picture style.

Sorry GB my bad I meant KM what size wheels are his.

Ok........

6x16 fronts and 7x16 rears. Not sure of early vs. late. I just know they fit without spaces... ;)

get them powdercoated instead of paint, holds up much nicer.

I like the anodize style, just how they came from the factory. Porsche made them so they would be protected and last. Check out the pic.

Hello, I spent all my spare time during this winter polisching 8 fuchs wheels myself. 4 fully polisched for my '73 germanlook super, and the other 4 with the reces painted for my '73 callook. I also wanted them powdercoated but could not find a company in my naberhood that could do it right. So I painted them myself for now. I can allways use a paintremover lateron. If you want to see the results, I'll send you some photos.
