I will post pics but it's gonna be a few weeks. My body shop appt is on April 19th. Your car pics and "seeyabud86" pics gave the inspiration to do the black wheels and I should have them done before the 19th. To me the color match door handles is a no-brainer. It just doesn't look right with Silver although they are complimented by the Silver wheels. Most high-end cars and or sports cars in general have color matched handles....

Let the games begin! Headed to the tire shop in the morning and then I'm off to the powder coater!!!

What's the best black powder coat finish? The shop told me not to go with gloss black, instead recommended semi-gloss. What's you guys' experience in this area?

Also I noticed the calipers are a metallic graphite color.... Anyone know if that color is available in power coating...?

I would suggest a 20% gloss which is more of a satin/matte finish. Coming from personal experience, gloss black kinda washes out the Pearl white and makes it look dingy.

Not sure on the Gunmetal gray the calipers come in, but I think the satin black will look better, especially if you black out the headlights.
