I powder coated my wheels blue, I thought it was gonna come out dark blue. The sameple looked like it was dark blue but that was due to the lighting. Picked them up today and spent 4-5hrs putting my wheels back together and swapped wheels. I havent seen it in th day time yet but i think it looks like I ran over a freakin smurf with my wheels. I guess I gotta take them apart and get them powder coated once again but hopefully this time I'll pick the right color. At night it dont look that bad just the day time I think. I'll get pics up tomorrow. On a good note, the place that did the powder coating, simply WOW! the quality came out really really good. I'm going back there for sure and they had really good prices too.

 

Ok just woke up and took a look at the wheels in sunlight and it dont look that bad. Its not as light as i thought it would be, which is a good thing.

 

umm..you gotta show pics dude.....blue is a wierd choice...could be cool but gotta see it

 

pretty weird... lets see pics

 

what i was going for


What I got

 

whoa.never seen anything like that before. The color you were going for is an anodized finish which gives it more metallic properties.

 

the pics didnt come out very well, its actaully a lil darker in person. But yea the ones in the first pic have a bit more metallic to it, I just wanted the color, I didnt expect it to have the same metallic properties.

 

i dont think those wheels are even blue (the sf winnings)...it just looks light a light hit it at a wierd angle....but i see what blue you wanted to get


looks different...gotta see it in person i guess

 

well...i give you big props for trying something new and different...

i give you even bigger props for doing them with Volk wheels...

 

i love lucy moment

 

they are deff blue, ive seen them in person...

anyways took some more pics today. They deff look at lot better in person, deff different from the norm. I'm starting to like them.

 

i think that looks pretty bad a$$!

thumbs up for bieng original.

 

thanks...its definately not for everyone

 

i like those new pictures. they look darker there.

 

and thats what matters most

 

Looks good I think. It will definitely look sweet if you have a blue-torched Titanium exhaust to match it up...

 

You need to take some pictures with the wheels in some sun. All the pictures you posted are in shadows, so it's hard to tell.

For me, I wouldn't do that color. I've grown to like bronze, but with a silver lip. Blue is a little much for me.

 

dude! i wanted to powdercoat my LMGT4's blue...

i think the blue you were going for is that of the blue chrome finish on the amistad wheels we carry...

its like a hyper blue

 

jason I got some better pics linked in my sig, I think they will actaully match your car's graphics pretty good. I was thinking about your car after looking at some of the pics.

 

Get back to work slacker
