    I am trying to decide on what color wheels to use on my project. I have attached a pic of the paint scheme I want to use. The black will be flat. So let me hear what you think.

    Thanks

    It looks like there is a small transition of yellow to orange to red. I would go with a tangerine/orange color since its between the yellow and red.

    Is that pic a rendition of what you are building???
    If so, first thing i'll say is, cool!!
    Second, i'd go with chrome Budd wheel's, or highly polished stainless simulators.....
    I know, not paint, but i dig the look it has in the rendering..

    EDIT..Ok, i just read your building Ford bus.....if it's the same scheme like you said, i'd still run what i typed above :D

    Pick up one of the major colors in the flame job
     
  13. I think it'd look bad *** if you had the painter paint the outside edge yellow and fade towards the center with orange then red. With a chrome bullet cap or spider caps
