Thanks, the reason for the black base was for the darkness. Wasn't to sure about it being real light colored.

I originally painted them hyper silver. I liked it just OK... better than the stock but I wanted something that would stand out a little more.[IMG]

Breynolds · 08-23-2013, 12:07 AM

link to materials?

FRyeS · 08-23-2013, 11:10 AM

god for the life of me I can't decide if I like that or not..problem with the Asphalt is the color is so dependent on the lighting. I had myself convinced gold would look good, now I'm not so sure.. hmmmm. Wish i could see the gold in natural lighting.

Your work looks top notch! I must admit, I actually like the hyper silver better on Asphalt than the gold. Thanks for sharing these!

You should do like a gun metal color, would probably look pretty cool. Or like hyper black

TheGuyWithTheFireStorm · 08-23-2013, 06:34 PM

x2 for hyper black!

What is the pnt code for the BBS gold? Optionally Dupont or PPG's codes will work.

After almost a year of hating the stock two-tone wheels, I sandblasted and powder coated them bronze. I used 60 grit aluminum oxide for blasting, then coated them with "Yankee Gold" powder from Prismatic Powders. I am extremely satisfied with the result! What is your opinion, I won't be offended. Also, while the car was immobile I painted the tail lights with Night Shades Red transparent rattle can. They came out very clean and glossy with no need to buff or polish!

Looks good! Nice one!
