Shadow Chrome Grange wheels

[vnsmanual]

Hey i currnetly have 3 original shadow chrome grange wheels. ive brought two more original wheels but there the champange colour.

i was wondering what everyones recomendations would be for paint that would look close to shadow chrome.

it doesnt have to be perfect but not be to obvious. Im thinking there must be some sort of colour such as a shiny silver, light gray colour, or is there a chrome type paint that looks similar.

it will only be temporary, as eventually i plan to get it properly shadow chromed and one of the one si have get a few gutter grazes fixed.

but for now i just wanna get them on my car, so anyone that has used any paints before that could look similar please let me know. id prefer pressure pack, but also open to suggestions for paint to use in a spray gun.

heres a pic to show the finish, looks shinier cause of flash.



thanks.

i got one of the champage ones powdercoated frontline silver.

colours slighty to light but i wnated to get them on my car, plus only cost 25 dollars.

so i have one other wheel sitting here, its been sand blasted. where can i get it done in shadow chrome? and how much for one whole wheel and one some small gutter rash repairs.

looking at getting the last one done properly to make up the four.

thanks guys

Where did you get it powdercoated for $25? Bargain that is.

Personally i'd powdercoat them all, they have hundreds of colours to choose from.

place in Moe Vic, they didnt have a whole heap of silvers to choose from. i dont wanna ruin the three factory shadow chrome wheels ive got, as there kinda rare in that colour and they do look good.

Are there any wheel repairers that you know of the do shadow chroming?

ive been told its like 150 a wheel! but im willing to do it to get a set.

[STEALTHY™]

Nah not sure man, sorry (i'm in SA anyway)

I had my genuine Grange wheels done in Black, the genuine factor didn't phase me lol, i wanted black.

Where abouts mate? I'm sitting at work in Moe right now :P Thinking of pricing some repairs on my wheels..

[johnvtls1]

Ring up and find out?

did that. to repair shadow chrome rims they charge a cool, 250 bucks each at a minimum.

[vnsmanual]

yeah ill get one done in proper shadow chrome to make up the set.

is it possible to just get some gutter marks fixed and just those parts painted?

or will a repair mean re painting the entire wheel?

i got the wheel done at fence-tek in moe. delatore road. near moe motorcycles.

not the best job but worth the 25 bucks i guess. ill post a pic up tomorrow.
