Gold looked the best in the pics, IMO.

I'm waiting for a black or white frs to come in, was thinking about doing this in gold or black, this just sealed the deal, I think the black looks killer! The gold looks good too, just a little dull. Good job though, thanks for the pics!

Has anybody powder coated their rims? Would a gold powder coat come out brighter? Is it worth the $$$?

I've always wanted to know... how to clean the brake dust off the plasti-dipped wheels?!

I got the gold cans from ebay for about $12 shipped each. The black I got from my local Home Depot for about $6 each.

Here's how 2 coats of gold look like on the car. I liked it at first but not so much anymore. Going to add two more coats and get it back to the first post's gold color.





1 coat(left) vs 2 coats(right)
