Powder coated Gloss black 20s summer set on Alpine white.

Post by AdamsX5 » Sun Apr 21, 2019 3:10 pm

Just had my wheels done for £260 powder coat and they look nice. Suit the car well and worth it in my opinion. Had a little rash on one so decided to give them a coat.

White and black or any dark wheels go do one.

A 40d I'm currently discussing with a dealer has the same and looks awesome.

They look well although I think even my 21"Black Alloys look lost inside the massive arches.

I think your next modification is to lose the Chrome around your windows. Make it black (with wrap) and that will tie it well to the wheels and the black mud flaps.

That’s exactly my plan but been busy.
Also need wheel arches repainted ..that dreaded pebble rash... anyone put on vinyl yet to protect?

Space grey with black accents is :thumbsup: :thumbsup: imo.

Since this was taken, the grills are all black now, and gloss black OE exhaust tips to fit (probably in the rain) when i'm back in the UK soon.

I'm not a fan of gloss black wheels, they show every minor abrasion :(

Space Grey with anthracite wheels has the look of colour coding gone wrong, imo of course. They're too similar but obviously not the same.
