Hey machine hunter, I know what you mean by not sure, but you got to be more specific. You sound dumb. j/k

I think he meant he is not sure if it is silver leaf or gloss alluminum.

Spoonmandos painted in silver leaf and it looked practically exactly like that.

IMO silver leaf is a hard color to work with. I tried it when I was a noob and the orange peel looked so heavy I thought I did something really wrong.

I don't think anybody makes those wheels but you could try Hoppin Hydros Bellagios.

TS-30 Silver Leaf, and some high gloss clearcoat on top of that.


I have a similar, although thinner, wheel that came with my Aoshima Falcon Toyota Aristo.

If you found a set, you could strip them of the chrome, and repaint them in the same TS-30 Silver.


Good luck!

Spoonmandos is from the forum and painted his supra in silver leaf and it looked awesome.

Sorry, I should have elaborated.

To strip them just soak them in bleach

If your Supra is in original colour you can go to some spare part shop or a car painter and ask for a fixing paint.
