Back in BLACK

Did this today.

Should I leave the centers silver? OR paint them black and the SVT lettering Silver?

clubracergt1 · 09-03-2011, 04:12 PM

I'd leave the centers alone, but many would say I have no taste.

03SVTCOBRA · 09-03-2011, 05:02 PM

They sell some black svt centers that would look good on those. Still, if they were mine ide try painting them first because im cheap like that.

csikx · 09-03-2011, 05:02 PM

I vote for black center caps.

Illusions · 09-04-2011, 09:18 AM

paint the centers black and I can send you silver SVT 's for the center. just let me know what size the original is. Height x Width

black out the centers.. looks really nice with the green/black combo.

chrisheltra · 09-04-2011, 03:31 PM

I kinda like it without the caps.

SOADweskey · 09-04-2011, 04:30 PM

I really like the contrast that the silver center cap gives.

I am not a fan of black wheels. But that is just me. If you like them, that is what counts.

Bradleyrj · 09-04-2011, 06:31 PM

I painted two of the centers black and Im going to brush the SVT insets in silver tonight to see how it looks. I'll post some pics for comparison later.

Nice
What kinda prep and paint did ya use?
Seriously considering doing my Lightning.

Bradleyrj · 09-05-2011, 04:41 PM

Prep was just wash and scotch brite with a red scotch brite with water. Paint was the .99 cent Gloss black from Wal-mart. Eventually I'll have them powder coated now that I know I like how it looks.
