thoughts on painting the VR stockies

[Golf Houso]

Picked my Mk 4 up on Friday, fitted the stereo on Sunday as well as the vr6 tail lights and today, tuesday I had the windows tinted and tonight I painted the wheels black.
Just a quick job, scotch brite then etch and the just black enamel to see how they look.
I think they look great, I will see how long the paint lasts as I will need some new tyres in a month or so and will wait till then to get them done properly , ie blasted and powder coatd.
i will post some pics tomorrow.

I used generic auto paint on my wheels and they're still on with no damamge from brake dust, with the only damage being when i dropped a wheel on its face
Its lasted for almost a year and some 5,000 odd kays, unless you did a really poor prep job there is not going to be a reason for you to re-do them for quite some time.

Hehehe well I am under the legal age, shhh!! I love this forum for that exact reason, everyone is more sophisticated and helpful/friendly!

Back on track...Man, if my VR was silver I'd love it even more (don't know how THAT's possible) but yeah I'm still wondering whether I should do like..a charcoal with a clear, or even look into a shadowed chrome look. What do you guys think?

Go SILVER!

I never bothered with this Maris...I've got a similarly styled Audi 16" set of wheels that will go on the car soon...and they're silver hehe.
