70'sChevyGirl Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 My husband is trying to talk me into painting the inside of my rims on the 350Z to match the body paint. I sort of like them the way they are but I am not sure how they would look if they were painted. Any PS experts...please help me make up my mind. Thanks.

Redbaron Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Don't paint. Powdercoat. The only thing is finding a shop that can match the color. I for one am a huge fan of color matched accents on wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcarrot Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'd get the center caps painted or something... dunno about the whole inside. If you accent it right it looks great. It's a fine line between tastefully done and overdone. I've seen people have the entire edge of the rim (Maybe 1" Wide) color matched to the body and that would look pretty cool on your car I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I wouldn't change a thing. I'm not huge on the matching thing. Less is more IMO. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpomeroy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm a stock guy too, but I'll see if I can give you a sampling with PS. The picture you have would lend itself to coloring the chrome / silver. is this what you want to see colored? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
