Powder coat ideas...
 
Hey all. I'm about to get my 12 NISMO wheels powder coated. I can't make up my mind. What would look BA?

what the Hey :eek: go for it............


:iagree:

madwi 10-08-2014 11:43 PM

I would take a walk through the wheel section to get some ideas. There is loads of pictures of all kinds of different colored rims. Getyourwheels daily pics thread is a good place to get started to check out some color choices.

Will do thanks

I had similar thoughts about powder coating my Nismo wheels.....I first
powder coated my brake calipers in a Inferno Orange color...I hit the
stop button for now...Felt leave what I have or put the money into
a new set of aftermarket wheels...On a hold pattern for now........

Wouldnt want you causing a ruckus in the streets half way around the world :P

The OEM nismo wheels are pretty good imo and fairly light. It would be hard to justify spending $4k just for looks. I would rather use that $$$ for other parts.

I can't really tell from your avatar, but it looks like your wheels are already black...?

If you want a color that would stand out more, you could try a bronze variant, they range from darker to very bright. Bronze Burst would probably be very sexy on a black Z.

Here is a quick reference for colors.

They're OEM which is a black plastic coating. I was thinking something like these colors. I am leaning towards purple.

go red.. like a candy red kinda red. someone with a white nismo did it and looked good on his car.

i prefer the hyper silver color or the gunmetal though.

damian_mb 10-09-2014 01:04 PM

Bronze for black car...anodized for that dirty bronze look :P

TerribleONE 10-09-2014 01:04 PM

Hott pink

VCuomo 10-09-2014 02:32 PM

Gold might look good too.

Gold works too. It's too bad that you don't want to purchase new wheels because the gold Work VSXX would be an excellent choice.

Punches 10-09-2014 05:05 PM

I do like red but not a fan of the gold. Is it possible to have them two tone? Or fade from a lighter to a darker shade of blue?

kenchan 10-09-2014 05:21 PM

Might look tacky..

Punches 10-09-2014 05:35 PM

Lol it could or it could look awesome depending on a lot

Sidewaysthe7 10-10-2014 07:06 AM

Bronze Burst

Also make sure you get a Mohawk and some jewelry to go with. And finish off with red nismo spoiler and some stripes

Wolfenstein 10-10-2014 02:03 PM

I'm with Aszyd....the bronze would look nasty :tup:

vividracing 10-10-2014 02:19 PM

Do a candy red! That would look bad ***!

vividracing 10-10-2014 02:19 PM

Although I suggested gold, I think the bronze that aszyd mentioned would look the best on a black car.

vividracing 10-10-2014 03:46 PM

Really? I think that looks soooooo sexy!

this color looked really nice!

Punches 10-10-2014 05:22 PM

I am going with the candy apple red button with a matte finish.
