New conundrum: matte gunmetal or gloss gunmetal?

kenchan 12-17-2013 03:23 PM
that's a tough call.

my weds came matte gunmetal, but i decided to like them a tad more glossy than matte, so it's like a semi-gloss/satin finish per my polishing/sealant technique. :D

kenchan 12-17-2013 03:24 PM
not sure if you can tell from this pict... it's not matte any more.

fox news says santa's only come in white. so your santa is faux. :confused: :icon17:

kenchan 12-17-2013 03:29 PM
one of the reasons why i did the semi-gloss is because the reflection highlights the wheel making the wheel appear bigger to offset the smaller apperance of darker wheels.

wheels appear smaller when darker color... and having no reflection/highlights makes them look even smaller.

kenchan 12-17-2013 03:34 PM
them german license plates look like street signs. :icon17:

You're spending that much money... get 'em shiny.
Flat, and they look like Plasti-Dipped rice.

satin and flat are different.

flat = matte
satin = semi-gloss
gloss = bald (shiny) :icon17:

that's what I thought at the beginning...

then I type "Matt Gunmetal"... :icon17:

It's possible to be too matchy-matchy.

We're not talking about an Escalade with chromed 24" Giovannis :icon17:

I would get shiny wheels simply because I don't want to look like every other trend-following boy racer out there.
But then again, it's your car and your vision, Tracie. Pick what works for your finished product.

in the us, the infiniti Q50 was suppose to replace the G37. but it appears G37 sedans will continue to 2015 unchanged. anyway, the G37C is now called Q60...even though it is the same shape as the G37C.

why call the G37C a Q60 while the G37 sedan is going to continue to 2015 unchanged?



i dont get it. :confused:
:iagree: doesn't make much sense. Why would the gtr, with the biggest motor of the bunch and most power, be named q50 the smallest number of the bunch? :confused:

GTR is "GTR" in japan as in the US.

skyline is the G37/G37C/Q50/Q60. but then nissan's flagship car "GTR" is a nissan, not infiniti. :confused:

not sure about a shiny wheels on a white car...

kenchan 12-17-2013 04:08 PM
that matte looks satin. i would do the satin, not gloss.

if it was flat like really plasti-shitt flat, i would do the gloss instead.

kenchan 12-17-2013 04:11 PM
