I'm powder coating my wheels, help me pick a colour!

[sip]

I am powder coating my stock 7 spokes, i need a color. You can actually make them a surprising number and varieties of color.

here is th palate. The colours are a shade lighter in person.

I'm debating Red, blue or bronzish. Hamertone or pearl?

If anyone can photoshop these colors on a black hatch that would really help.





I really like the hammer blue, red hammer and gold hammer on this page.

silly bear. and powder coating in like a magnetic powder that gets baked onto the metal i think right guys?

[FusionR300zx]

$5 autozone falt black paint... 2 cans... i used 1... and it's slowly comin off... only did 2 coats

[mrzabala]

Only things that would be sweet to have powder coated are: Calipers, Valve covers, pipings, and maybe some other covers.

[knx2]

Wow good color options.

[KA24Power]

the spelling of "colour" in the title tipped me off, you're a fellow Canadian!!

Congrats on the car by the way. when I'm out east next summer do you want to give me a ride? I've always wondered about the CA power

as for colour, I like the black/gunmetal. that or gold I guess. Hope you pick a good one!

[tigwebu]

Can't go wrong with candy blue

[Chief_Suicide]

Black, from the top set of pictures!

[positron1]

What color is your car?

^ ^ ^ black hatch.

Why am i silly for saying that the colors are lighter in person? I don't get it.And yeah it's dry powder paint (sometimes magnetic + current) and then it is baked. There are a couple different processes.

i wouldn't spend money to powder coat stock wheels, but i would paint them myself and learn something off of it. like how to paint rims.

BUT if you're going to powder coat them anyways, i say go pink, flat black, or bronze/gold.

[Vr6WantSr20det]

are those carpet samples??? i like the brass, although its pretty much a gun/metal gold color. not very original. but you asked.

[forksquared]

no i was telling the other kid who said he was color blind and asked if the clors were off. i was just refering him to your post about the colors

[positron1]

Yeah, those look like the same samples on a carpet replacement site I checked.

[PantherRacer]

dude, just glue the fabric of choice onto your rims and start a new trend.

That interesting you say that because that IS the colour i chose (brass pearl). They should be done in about a week, i will post pics when they are done. Although the colour is more like the "gold pearl" with a burgundy tone. I think it will be hot.

[koukicody]

I'm not painting flowers on it, and i'm not even sure what that "pie and planet horses" guy is snorting, but i guess that's what i get for leaving an openended poll. Lesson Learned!

They are supposed to be done this week so ... 'till then.
