Default Powder Coating/Pinstriping?

Hey guys I'm looking for some suggestions and have a few questions. I'm thinking about powder coating my wheels (rpf1's). I'm thinking of doing either
1. White with purple calipers.
2 Purple with white calipers.
3 or Keep black with purple lip and purple calipers.
My car is GPW btw. let me know what you guys think. Just can't tell how the car will look with purple wheels.
Also was wondering if you guys knew someone good at powder coating in the Bensalem area (NE Philly) and/or pin striping incase i keep them black for the purple lip.

Thanks in advance guys.

no matter what you do, white calipers will soon be yellow calipers.

don't do it.

Liquid Powder Coats is who I usually deal with. Great work, Great prices. He does calipers as well.

Personally I think purple calipers is kinda tacky.

Thanks for the info guys. I thought that white calipers might turn ugly quick. And I'm still unsure of colors. I thought about it looking tacky but i think with the right color purple maybe with black calipers it might look ok. my valve cover and blow off valve are both purple just trying to keep the theme going. But this is gonna take a while to do anyway now due to me blowing 2nd gear in my tranny last night. Anyone know have a tranny for sale? and what trans would you guys recommend? ap1 or ap2 for boost? Thanks again guys.
