Im refurbing my 18" AMG alloys (see attached) as you know the AMG text is on one spoke, once the painted area has been repainted I thought about laying ruby red paint in the AMG logo, ruby red being the colour of the CL or possibly another colour or would this be too cheesy??

That was my thinking too.... Also thought about painting the silver part ruby red but then it looks heavy and 80's AMG.

I think it would look good. Either the car colour, as you said, or black.

Just be chuffin careful it doesn't spill out onto the rest of the rim!

Thats the easy bit, fill the recess with paint and any over spill can polish off.

I agree with Richard.

I was thinking more of Stilton as you're in Cambs. ;)

Stilton !!!! my favorite!!!!

Ok well I will try one wheels before I spray them silver so I dont have to repaint them afterwards and post better pics of before and after.

Im moving more towards leaving them as is.
