Painting my Breyton GTS-R's

tennistodd · 04-15-2011, 09:12 AM

Just as the title states. They are grey with the red stripe right now. My car is Black sapphire. Any suggestions? My body shop guy is going to paint them for me. Bright Red or Silver?, and paint the inner lip where the red stripe is black. OR just sell them? I'm kind of tired of the black on black theme.

I would say white, or a pearl white, but then that color would only last you till the next stop light before it became grey again, lol.

Gold?

Interesting..I have the same feeling about mine and have been considering powdercoating for a while. I think either Bronze or Competition Gold would look killer. Post up a pic with whatever you go with -

Nothing is wrong with them! I looked at so many wheels before I purchased these and as my car is a daily driver I elected to stay with the same size and offset. The only problem is, I always want what I don't have. ugh...I'm interested in silver or gold now. After a year I may get tired and want something different. Who knows. I thought about painting my Breytons a ridiculous red or orange too? Then again I like the clean look of the BMW performance wheels in the split 5 star.

Do nothing, the car looks fine. Spend the money having fun. Remember, anyone giving advice is not spending their own money.

Look at the satin bronze PC PYSpeed offers. That is exactly what you want
