im looking at spraying the centre of my meshies that coppery colour. should go sweet with the silver colour of my car

[DAMO46]

go green.

[Golberg]

IMHO go with a standard type color. Gold will suit a black car, or even a bronze color.

Green seems to be the going trend now days though, seems that its the new in thing and more and more people are doing. Not really my cup of tea though.

[pieman18]

i reckon white would be sweet with polished lips on a black car

i saw a meshies colour scheme today that ive never seen, not sure it would work for your car but ill share anyway

was on an audi, the lips were a polished white and the centres were jet black, looked awesome

[BLACK COUPE]

yea i was thinking about something weird like a lime green, ive seen a few ssr mk2's in that colour looks kinda cool, im liking the white idea tho......or a dirty gold colour? to many options lol

[Eircamae86]

Was it josh young who had fluresent yellow centres on the pink car? looks cool in my opinion
Totally depends on the look of the car
This thread needs pics,,,,

[all torque]

Don't go fluro green. Too many people have already done it, (well, 2 that I can think of lol, but that's enough.) Fluro pink could look alright, if you didn't mind having pink wheels.

Otherwise black or gold, I say.

[Fozz]

go for gold

[Javal]

Bronze would be cool. You don't see it much.

[drift kid]

neon green

thanks for all the suggestions guys!!!! bronze and champagne would be cool i think but i love that lime green colour in the above pic

[Golberg]

On a black car like that you can't go wrong with bronze. I saw a photo with a lineup of Black Limited's somewhere and they all had bronze rims.

[todd]

yeh that green looks cool in a photo (seen it around YAJ somewhere) but on the black trueno on the meshies it would look a bit odd. would be fine on an mk2 but a mesh hmmmm... the face is too big for that much colour me thinks, just my opinion though.

i have to vote bronze/dusty gold. would look so so good.

ps specs on those wheels plz

[Golberg]

This is sorta on the right track:

Obviously they are more gold than bronze, and aren't meshies.

[todd]

Not bronze again, but at least with SSR's

this is what i was looking for. skip through to 0.40s and check how well the gold/bronze works.

ftw!

[BLACK COUPE]

bronze does look thug but only if the entire rim is bronze imo, gold looks win tho

[blair]

anything but white man. gold is always a winner.

[BLACK COUPE]

wow trippy i just posted the exact picture you did lol

[flamingheads]

bright yellow like josh youngs pink sprinter

[Group A]

Bright colours would look gay, IMO.
Black would lose the cool look of meshies.
White would show up too much dirt and brake dust.
Silver & gold are OK.
Bronze or copper would look very classy on a black car with polished rims.

[ae86]

leave it with no paint,

[dave2221]

just remember, if they are a light colour they are going to be a fuck to get the brake dust off......

[ae71]

any think but black.. i really dislike black mesh.

better yet, trade in the meshies for some equip 03's

[BeeJay]

My centers I recently had done.

Metallic Grey powdercoat + clear.
