So, I'm gonna have my Rays G35 rims powder coated in the near future. Only problem is that I can't decide on which shade of silver to go with. I got tired of the gray on gunmetal look, and felt that I needed a color to contrast and accentuate the color/lines of my SGM IS250.

Here's my car when it had the rims "face-painted" gunmetal gray:



And here's a pic of different shades of silver powder coated bottles I found on the internet that I'm considering:


Does anyone have suggestions or a different shade they don't see on the bottle pic?

Oh yeah, I'm getting my windows tinted this weekend 35% fronts and 20% rears/rear windshield.

 

Nobody? Somebody's gotta.

 

"Almost chrome" sounds nice, all the benefits of chrome without the drawbacks?

"hey man, chrome wheels are tacky"
"no way dude, they aren't chrome, they're almost chrome"

jokes aside, that argent silver seems like a nice shade.

 

Hah! To be honest, I'm stuck between the Almost Chrome, Argent Silver, and Gray metallic (I think it's the same as a Smoke Chrome that I saw, and it looks SIIICK- but I dunno if it looks good on SGM).

 

GRAY METALLIC, argent silver if anthing else

 

I think they look pretty good the way they are! But since that's not the point of this thread, I vote for Stamped Steel.

 

Are you doing it yourself?

 

Did you paint those rays with duplicolor gunmetal?

 

Wow, I thought this thread wasn't gonna get anymore replies! Thanks guys for the suggestions, keep 'em coming!

No, I'm not gonna powder coat the wheels myself. I would if I had the equipment and an oven, but no. I'm gonna be having them done professionally.

Yes, I did paint the Rays with Duplicolor Gunmetal wheel paint. Turned out okay, I just think that they made my car look TOO gray.

 

accent silver

 

STAMPED. the other colors need to have a three peice or it will not look right. they will look close to a chrome set of stocks. personally i would leave it ...but i know how it is to want another color wheel after youve been rolling one type /color for a while..

 

do it like mine, it looks sick

 

I like the Gray Metallic, then the argent silver. On your car color, tough to say without seeing the colors in person. They never look the same coming off a flash.
