gold, silver, bronze, titanium. any of those colors would work on silver car. Personal preference. I'd do gold. Since Ive done on previous silver car. Looks good.

titanium.... hmmmm.... got an example?

I've done bronze burst sparkle centers with polished lips before, looked good but it needed to be a bright sunny day and bright complimentary coloured barrels to really notice the colour or for the metallics to pop properly.
I ran these before a customer decided to drive into a curb and force me to relip and refinish them, on his dime:

Then they got refinished into primadonna clones, only missing the red logo caps:

Also rebuilt a very rare set of ARE 3piece wheels before that:

As well as a set of 2piece RH ZW1's:


Not to mention a couple dozen other sets of wheels for customers...

Here are some of the colours I can use and how they change at different angles of light, cleared on top and straight colour on the bottom:
/Of course, any colour you want can be found at Powderbuythepound.com which is where I got the above.
