Hi guys !


What do you think of repainting the wheels white on my white Daytona Shelby 89 ?. I´ve seen it done and think it looks nice but that was on a all white car, mine has the original grey metallic Shelby-kit with striping so Iám not shoure, what do you think ??

Yeah pumpers were definitely available in white. They only came white on a white car. Check out pics of my Daytona in my gallery...mine has the white pumpers.

Hi guys!

I know that they where available in white but I haven´t seen them on a car with the grey spoiler-plastics on. Yours are the all-white which I think looks better and from time to time thinking of doing to mine too but it´s in original shape as it is so I don´t really know...guess some paint wouldn´t hurt so I think I give it a go since the winter-wheels are on the car right now anyway.


/Best regards, Per

BACK FROM THE DEAD!

What is the best method for painting a set of pumpers? I just put them on my van and I am thinking of doing them black or like a dark metallic gray. Does the wheel paint from autozone hold up? Any other technique suggestions to getting it to look good?

My wife's old 89 TII Shelby Daytona had white pumpers from the factory. I would attach a pic if I only knew how. If you want to see the pic, let me know I can email it to you. btw, I think It looks great!!! Even with the car rusting away, walking away I always turn and look at it one more time. As a matter of fact the further away you get, the better it looks.

All the 89 pumpers were the grey colour. I've seen them chaulk up and look white though.
