Matt24. Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 HI, just a quick question, anyone sprayed there rims a different colour than orginal and what would the effect be braking wise, None? would it just strip the paint eventually or make the braking worse in any way?

Mikee Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I sprayed a rim once and it rook the paint off the braking surface quite quickly leaving it patchy, so I ended up sanding off the rest. Also with paint on the braking surface, the bite and hold wasn't quite as good. But not by too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I personally think that white paint has better hold than black, but if you want modulation you really wanna go down the pink with purple spots route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt24. Posted January 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 OK kool thanks for that advice I am just mocking up a stencil to make the dots really even as I don't want the braking to be unbalanced... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
