Default 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 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.

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

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

how did you manage to powdercoat them yet keep the polished lip... someone told me that they have to bake the wheels 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?

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
