306oc - Peugeot 306 Owners Club & Forum

Refurbed my wheels 6 months back. Looked good but I used crap laquer and basically the brake dust has ruined them so it's time to refurb them.
Two options.

Either gold like kingys or dum dums (for once I actually like something Chris did!)
Or shadow chrome.
Opinions?

Of course if people want to do some photoshops, feel free

My votes on shadow chrome!

Shadow chrome

Needs a gti splitter.

Also, am I being thick, wtf is shadow chrome? If its grey then I'll go with that one lol.

Nah goona splitter looks good when it's fitted properly....basically not with 4 cable ties.

Yeah it's basically chrome with a black over lay

Fair enough, id go with that over gold then.

Gold! Although the shadow chrome was nice on Scott's clones, the gold will stand out more and look really niiice

Only thing with the gold is then what colour do I do the calipers?!

matte white.

Pink go for pink wheels lol!

Shadow

Shadow chrome. We can't photoshop a crap pic where you haven't even bloody cleaned them though! (off to raid your project thread for a better picture...)

Well there is also that one. I don't really take many photos of my car!

The best one I found was of your XS, so I'll doodle something at lunchtime. Only real difference being that the passenger door is the same colour as the rest of the car

:p

shadow chrome is what ive got but i cant seem to find cans of it anywhere?!?!? Any ideas where i can buy it?

Sam that looks far too dark to be shadow chrome.



That is shadow chrome..


From what I've read on it, it's not easy to do a cheap job of; you need to undercoat the alloy in black, then put a very light coat of silver over the top... I do agree it looks porno though but that's why you wont find it 'in a can' in the shops!!

Ed is exactly right, much like a pearl finish the shadow chrome is a two-stage process, effectively two different colours.

I'll have a crack at photoshop now...

OK finally got around to doing this...

Then I got really bored.
