Shadow Painted GT Fan Blades, Before, After and After that too
Hi guys,
New to modding and I'm also a per paycheck modder (every paycheck gets a new mod).
I drive a 2008 V6 Alloy.
Recently I found a set of used 18" 2006 GT Fan Blades.
Well they were beat up a bit so I decided to paint them.
Like many before me I painted the center of the blades black while leaving the rest chrome.
After getting it done I was impressed on how it changed the car but I could still see the wear and tear and it didn't really look finished.
So I found a paint SET called Shadow Chrome. Turns out it's transparent black with a clear coat. I saw that on the package and immediately knew that's what I wanted.
TLDR - My rims are pretty now - look at pictures
Before Shadow Paint but after I painted the blades' interior black.
During - This shows back wheels with Shadow paint over chrome and front with just the black.
Finished Wheel *It's a little dusty from the road* - though I plan to replace the silver lugs with black ones so just the Pony emblem is highlighted.
Finished Product
And since I had some paint left and wanted to work with a theme
I painted my rear emblem and my front grille Pony with the transparent black paint and it came out amazing!
Again this is dirty from the road and I have construction near my house.
I have read around the forums for folks that were looking for some unique custom options and I hope this helps a bit.
Let me know what you all think.

Now if there was just an Anti Dirt-road coating repellent on the market...

If YOU like them that is all that matters (but you did ask).

Overall I'm very happy with how they turned out and am warming up to the dark on dark look.
