Poweder Coating LMGT's
 
I am just not feeling the bronze anymore, I looks brown IMO...

I am thinking about going either gloss/flat/or semi black . or dark/ light / gunmetal gray, I just can't decide.

Any suggestions welcome, any photo shops would be really cool too.

i know you don't like it, but i have to say those bronze look awesome on that particular color. of coure i am partial to the LMGT anyway but certain colors just look good together and that works IMO

I think that you will have a hard time being happier with another color. That combo is really nice. The flat black and bronze almost has "sinister" look to it.

I like it.

chinny Apr 10, 2008 11:31 AM

I like it, what are you doing man!?!?

snaponbrian Apr 11, 2008 04:19 AM

thanks, I will take your advise and roll with it for a while.

Leave it. I sometimes second guess buying my Works but have a good friend slap me back to reality. LOL

GM with Black Z FTW!!

The bronze is a bit too dark in my humble opinion. I think the gloss black with lip that the y0shi posted above looks great.

for my car, I would like a Mag blue with lip

guitman32 Apr 11, 2008 07:57 AM

I say leave it... the SB on dark/matte bronze looks fantastic. Supersexytime!!

looks sick Yoshi... do you have any more pics maybe from different angles? im thinking about doing the same thing! are you running spacers?

crackhbob Apr 11, 2008 08:30 AM

The black nismos have gunmetal, they look pretty good... Yoshi's look pretty F*N good too though.

rim color = gunmetal (powder coat) + polished lip 18x8.5, 9.5
no spacers.

snaponbrian Apr 11, 2008 11:57 AM

^ those must be 19's ?? I can't get a silver polished lip:dunno:
they do look great!


so lost now different opinions surfacing, has anyone got gunmetal lmgts???

I am now leaning towards just doing it.(the gunmetal)

how did you manage to powdercoat them yet keep the polished lip... someone told me that they have to bake the wheels :confused: i dunno im not a painter... another question i'd like to ask it why you painted half the inner lip black? did it make the spokes look too small with the full lip?

Jason333 Apr 11, 2008 01:31 PM

2 different looks all together. You car is flat black, so I think the bronze goes very well with it. I think a polished lip and flat black may be too much of a contrast. Again, I vote to leave it as is :)
