993 targa wheel refinish advice
I have a 96 Targa and a few years ago I replaced the stock speedline wheels with some MY02 wheels and I love em.
It's taken me this long to get around to prepare the original wheels for sale, and after a lot of frustration I decided to take them down to metal and have them repainted professionally. Rather than saving the rusted dinged up bolts, 96 of them total, I spec'd the originals for load/strength and matched them, quite well in fact, through a commercial hardware supplier... color and all. Well I got them back from the blasters and WOW do they look nice. So nice, in fact, if i could leave them like they are, I might. I've attached some pics.
My main question is, in offering them for sale, should I:
* Repaint them to the original OEM silver (not sure of the color code but of course I'll look it up)
* Have them painted to whatever paint code the buyer wants as a condition of the sale.
* Offer them for sale as is, without primer or paint letting the buyer take care of it.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, after all there is no better audience.
Thanks all.-jerry
PS ignore the date of the photos, i just took them last night.
