Not so farfetched in the late 60's or early 70's someGM cars had red plastic inner fender liners as an option I beleive it was Pontiac GTO or Olds Cutlass

 

IMO it would not look good... You need depth to your wheels, and I don't like the idea of a colored background behind them. It doesnt seem like it would look right.

And remember, retro is only cool if you know retro - 99% of the people on the street will wonder why the heck your wheel wells are painted. Including me.

Anyways, someone is bound to experiment, so I'm down for some educating pics when its all done.

 

try keeping them clean though...especially if your car is lowered, you will have zero luck getting any cleaning tool in there

 

I can still picture someone doing it. You know the type. "Hey, nice car. Too bad you have those crappy unpainted wheel wells. You should paint them like my custom quadruple primed, powder-coated, metal flaked, gravel resistant ones." No one's car will be worth two cents unless they have them done like him, but even then, it's not good enough because he did it first, and his is the only perfect car in his eyes. I can't stand those people.

 

One question. Why? It's like painting the gas tank, nobody will notice(unless you're gonna enter car shows and style points rule the day). I think it's a waste of time, there are better things to exhaust your time on IMO.

 

You know, I could probably PhotoShop that dude's Mustang with the carbon fibre hood and white rims and white side stripes with some bad *** gold wheel wells.....

 

HAHAHA!
