Default Powdercoating coming soon!

So I am getting ready to powdercoat my stock AP2 wheels and was wondering if anyone had some color ideas for me. Not that I care what you guys think but I just want to make sure I am exploring all possibilities.

Right now my top three color choices are:

1. Magnesium Blue
2. Flat Black
3. Gunmetal Grey
4. Hot Pink

In that order too. What do you guys think?

Note: I am Silverstone!

Thanks,

Brandon

I'd say flat black, but I am pretty curious to see how mag blue would turn out.

No Takata Green JDM style?!?!?!?!

ehhh...probably not this time around

I think that flat black is my first choice for that clean look but I would like to try something different like the mag blue.

I like flat black!

I don't see gold listed, I know black on gold has been done a lot, but I think both AP2 wheel styles would look great in a darker gold/copper.

Yeah a really dark bronze color also crossed my mind. It would have to be pretty dark for me to like it though. I have seen gold on silverstone and I did not like it much.

I think gold and bronze looks best on GPW and BB or MAYBE Laguna. Just my $0.02.

Mag blue, and flatblack the back/sides of the spokes.

Where are you getting Magblue powdercoat? I was just going to paint one of my sets of wheels a similar color, but if I can bust out my powder gun and find the right powder, that's a tempting solution to me.

I say you do this, and then sell me them when you are not happy with it

Try Mag Blue, could look really good; with silverstone, you have potential.

I will let you know where my guy gets his powder when I find out. I have seen quite a few projects of his done in this color and it is very nice

You got yourself a deal

Right now, like I said before, I am really leaning towards the mag blue.

Is anyone here a photoshop pro(or amatuer) that could do mag blue wheels on one of my exisitng pics?

Thanks,

Brandon
