Need help with Powdercoat color

**09SLINE** · 11-17-2011 10:52 AM

Guys,

Getting ready to powder coat my set of peelers but I am having a hard time deciding on color and style. Looking to get some feedback/ideas for colors. Appreciate everyone's input. Thanks.

White for sure....

**Abuck35** · 11-17-2011 11:09 AM

**09SLINE** · 11-17-2011 11:17 AM

flat black or gunmetal looks best on white. or orange but thats too "ghetto" for you ;)

**ryank382** · 11-17-2011 11:45 AM

Gunmetal FTW !!!!

**cyberbrutus** · 11-17-2011 11:51 AM

Titanium Rims Gray or Dolphin Gray or Onyx Black!

**vhstejskal** · 11-17-2011 11:57 AM

Bonded black chrome or Bavarian Silver.

I have yet to see a car with orange/green/white etc wheels and go "oh cool, that doesn't look like a riced out carriage of age-denial"

gunmetal, black chrome,

**dumpedb5** · 11-17-2011 12:12 PM

Imola yellow.

i realize dark wheels are boring, but pure orange wheels is just begging for [all the wrong] attention.

edit: this is the only type of orange i'd do. overall the car's style is debatable to each viewer, but this is the most amount of orange i'd throw on my wheels:

lol fair enough. I love that RS4 on the ornage wheels, if that can't convince you, I don't think anything will. That car is like.. the exception for me

**ryank382** · 11-17-2011 02:04 PM

in my opinion one of the crazy colors that really pop out like the orange or blue would not look good on these specific wheels. i would personally go gunmetal like i said before or black with a red time attack strip. or just straight up textured black

**Okan509** · 11-17-2011 02:10 PM

You could always test feel a matte black with plastidip?

**Blake P** · 11-17-2011 03:19 PM

IMO, if you're going with a "look at me" color the wheels better be something to look at. Justsayin'...

**Highlander1010** · 11-17-2011 04:42 PM

The orange is kind of fun...

**09SLINE** · 11-17-2011 06:48 PM

Not going for the "look at me" statement, just something a little different without shelling out Blake P. style money for new rims. One day I will convince myself to buy a set of ADV 1. or something similar.

**Highlander1010** · 11-17-2011 09:11 PM

I'm definitely thinking to powder coat mine this year...but I'm still TBD on color potentially. I do like the gunmetal.

**MilesM** · 11-17-2011 09:13 PM

Do each spoke a different color.

**Calbee** · 11-18-2011 01:52 AM

just put some sonax wheel cleaner on there and try not rinse it off. you will get the "being different" + "look at me factor". will look like you ran over a person ! :D

anyways back to serious business. with those OEM wheels I wouldnt go more than the usual gunmetal. i think gunmetal would look best, i love black but dont think it looks good on those oem style wheels. some dark titanium/gunmetal colour (Y)

**Blake P** · 11-21-2011 09:28 AM

Hot!

**A42007** · 11-21-2011 09:41 AM

Looks good, white would have been better!

Plasti-dip that front grill now..

**09SLINE** · 11-21-2011 10:27 AM

Grill is plasti-dipped but left the chrome as-is.

Nice, car looks good. What did you have to pay for powder coating? Going to do my peelers at some point as well. I like the Hyper Silver but think it's time to switch it up a bit...

**09SLINE** · 11-21-2011 11:02 AM

It was $115/wheel which was a fair price. Typically ranges between 100-150 depending on the wheel, powder and shop doing the work. I like the wheels but am thinking about something lighter like gunmetal with a little flake in the powder.
