I feel that it's time to refresh the look of my wheels. Even though they are the ugly 16's I feel some paint and clear would refresh them. I would get them remachined to keep the OEM look, but that's a bit pricey ($300). I'm originally planning on primer white, because I think it'll look good. Also, black would look generic and too normal. I have a spray gun and compressor and look forward to using them for something other than cabinet doors. I don't mind using cans, just prefer to use spray gun. How many pints or quarts of paint do I need to use the gun? And how many cans to use cans. Thank you. The first picture gave me the idea of white on silver. Mine is the second picture.

don't paint factory wheels anything other than silver unless you want people to make fun of you on the internet

primer white needs contrast and will look dirty LITERALLY CONSTANTLY so have fun with that

Although I am 16, opinions on the internet don't hurt my feelings or make me mad or depressed. I simply wanted ideas. You could have just simply said "silver would look nice and white needs constant cleaning"

gunmetal or bronze instead of dirty white

ooo [emoji44] I was thinking of that so it can match the engine covers color. Any idea of how much paint or cans I need?

My friends and I use natural disasters and riots as an excuse to stop white-wheeled Civics at intersections, pull the drivers out, and beat them. We had a whole YouTube channel of us (masked) dragging these people out of their white-wheeled Hondas and beating, tasing, and robbing them. Made huge kwan. Then YouTube took our channel down. No more kwan- back to slinging hash at Denny's.

Gunmetal would look nice. Or a darker bronze. That engine bay looks nice.

IMHO, white makes them look like they're made of cheap plastic...

Actually, Integra Type R comes with white wheels stock. You beat them, too?

As for OP, meh, I think the silver looks pretty good. White doesn't really work for an Accord.

I do agree with Rick that gunmetal could also work. Could ask a photoshop-savvy friend to help you visualize.

Oh that seems like a great idea. I've got some knowledge with "virtual tuning". Right now I need to reinstall Photoshop, because I reset my pc. Really considering the bronze or gunmetal right now. Anyone know how much paint or cans I need for the wheels?

change of plan. I’m going to use spray cans for primer and color, but use the spray gun for the clear. That way the protective layer is the best applied. Also, so I can get the exact color match for the engine covers.
