Getting ready to refurbish my cyclones, but I'm having a bit of trouble choosing what colour to use. I was going to spray them metalic black, but because its purely a track day car I'm thinking maybe I should spray them in a 'different' colour. What do you think? And is it just normal car paint and twin pack laquer I can use? Will be using a spray gun. Thanks...

Dont think I've got the balls for pink, lol. Yellow might work with a nile.

Just had a look at your previous threads Pete and The Grey looks very nice. I also thought about white but think it made the wheels look smaller, but they grey was very nice.

Yea I like the idea of Matt black or Grey but wouldn't know how to spray it or where to get the paint from?
