hehe, those will be powder coated tomorrow, was going through this thread for some inspiration

That is vintage gold plasti dip + glossifier & brakedust pretty much 'baked' into the plasti dip.
Plasti dip doesnt like trackdays
it's a mess to keep the color as is, hence the switch to powdercoating.

Still no idea what to go for, was thinking of a darker gold again but now that the anthracite OEM 19''s are back on the car, the gold kinda feels cheap...


edit: They'll be painted instead of powdercoated.
I discussed it with the paint shop and i'll try a slightly yellowish bronze (if that makes any sense at all )
I'll get to see a sample of what they come up with in a couple of days.
The idea is to get something like the rear wheel of this (badly edited on my phone) picture:



Thanks a lot Artemis for posting those autogespot pics, I wasn't even aware 'till I started looking for inspiration in here
