Blue? I dunno. They'll definantly chip though.

Bronze and gray would clash. I'd go with silver or something complementary to gray. Try kuler.adobe.com and play around with that...

Just re-do it in a gloss black. And if you do decide to go with a different color just don't rush through it and do it the right way.

The bronze might be nice but make sure it's not to "gold" looking. If you do that you should paint some of the accent pieces on the car to give it a theme. I think silver, bronze and the magnetic grey would be a little weird. If it were me I'd paint them that new Arctic Blue color.

Good luck with which ever way you go and don't forget to post pictures.

Find somebody local and have them powdercoated. I powder coat tons of stuff all the time. But Im not local at all to you.
