They were silver with embossed Type R logos. (unpainted)

They didnt come painted.

I painted mine, red with white.

Come and do mine! I've had the gear to tackle mine for a month or more. But I dont have access to a ramp, which makes the job so much more of a ballache. Get each corner up, scrub them down and mask them off, then go round again and do the painting.
The paint goes funky after 4 hours, so its not like you can get one up, scrub it down, and get the 2 coats on before it goes off.
How did you do yours?

Ramp won't help you anyway, you wouldn't be able to take the wheels off! :lol:

I just did mine with hammerite, once corner at a time, trolley jack & axle stand.

Waited for a summers day, jacked the car up, put it on some axle stands, removed the wheels and got painting .

I did give them a good clean though with some brake cleaner, then just took my time. You only get one chance to do this so dont rush.

I gave them two coats just to give them the best coverage.

Then while they were drying I took the wheels away and gave them a good clean.

As it started to cool down in the evening I put the wheels back on and let the car stand for the rest of the night.

Next day, looked like this....

cheers for the replies guys. my normal ones i did with trolley jack under the front; both wheels off at once. The cars too low for ramps :lol:

didnt realise they were unpainted, you learn somthing new everyday, Suits yours looked awesome.

Lol, FAIL. I didnt explain that so well did I! Honda have a ramp thing that lifts the car up by the jack points, so the wheels hang free...not sure if there is a technical term for these, but thats what I meant!:lol:

I used red hammerite too and got some type r calliper vinyls off eBay because mines not a prem
