Title: Skyway Tuff - colouring in the graphic?
Post by: punkdSICO on July 05, 2011, 10:22 AM: Is it a bit naff to colour in the "Skyway" and "TUFF WHEEL II" graphics on your Skyways?

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2296/5699369567_39df8f06fb_z.jpg)

I kind of like it and have painted black the graphic on some white 2011 tuffs. Im now considering painting white the graphic on some old flanged black tuffs. Obviously the flanged wheels are a bit more precious so I dont want to do it if it is considered naff..

Any thoughts?

Paul

He's dead right though. ;D

Sticking a Skyway decal on your wheels is also a bit naff IMO. :)

For sure, but Im a perfectionist so not doing it right is never an option..

Saying this, its making me reconsider doing my old school flanged one..
