Title: riviera's: looking for pics. Post by: nicolas on February 15, 2008, 20:27:52 pm hey i have a set of riviera's and i wanted to know how to detail them. maybe paint them, leave them raw except for the lip was a thought, but i could use some pics to make up my mind.
thanks btw, the ones i have don't have the raised square part on the spokes. Title: Re: riviera's: looking for pics. Post by: empicolector on February 15, 2008, 21:21:19 pm I am not a fan of riviera

On the right car with the right treatment, I found it quite nice. Title: Re: riviera's: looking for pics. Post by: Shubee2 (DSK) on February 15, 2008, 22:50:38 pm here is a set of the late style Riviera's Not RePOPS
Title: Re: riviera's: looking for pics. Post by: Steve D. on February 16, 2008, 00:19:20 am I've always liked them blacked out except for the outer lip. I'm lazy so I went with the rattle can/scotchbrite method, but if you are into that kind of stuff they look good with real paint and polished all the way from the lip up to the spoke.

Post by: nicolas on February 16, 2008, 08:53:05 am if i had the ones like shubee has i would paint the outer parts of the spokes in the bodycolour,but they are the flat ones like the others have shown. i really like them, but kinda hate to have them polished fully... they have been sanded except the lips and the centers. maybe i can polish up the lips and centers and leave the spokes raw. but i am not really sure how that would look.
