I have been waiting for the weather to cool down in Joshua Tree so I could go shoot my car. RPF1 17x9+45 with a 255 Federal RS-RR all around. Driver side is custom powder coated gold. The gold did not turn out how the samples looked so I'm looking for a better shade of gold. I really like how the white (also custom color) turned out, I was not expecting that. Front fenders are OEM with all metal flare, rear is rolled and pulled.

OG coming back! I like this, reminds me of the good old days.
Still have my S. A while a go I parked it and started to part it out. It sat for several years, only dove it a few hundred miles a year. A few months ago I got some new parts for it and detailed it. The weather was finally nice so I took it out for a shoot.
the gold looks good in the photo. what color were you shooting for?
In person they look more bronze and not very glossy. They are very similar to the gold color enkei offers. I wanted them to look like my gold ce28n. The powder samples they had for this color online looked exactly like what I wanted but the finished product looked nothing like the images. I contacted the company but they tried to blame me for the mistake saying it could be my monitor or my calibration is off or some thing like that except I'm a professional photographer and know a few things about color. They sent me a sample swatch in the mail and it matched my rims exactly but was not even remotely close to the color they advertise online. After I explained all of this they went silent. I cant find another company that has the gold I want. Some companies have a gold but it is usually a transparent spray over a polished rims, makes it look like gold chrome and that is not the look I want.
