What you think?
 
Gun metal body with flat dark bronze coloured stock Rays. Hmmmm... I think I'll just shoot and see what happens.

Did you do this yet?

I have a GM and will get whatever wheels I purchase powdercoated Bronze. Would love to see what shade you end up with. Torn between more bronze or more copper, definitely matte though, no shiny copper heh....

I just sprayed my buddies rims for his yellow M3 and damn it does look good! I put his rim beside my car and it definitely compliments the GM. I will be prepping my Rays tomorrow. Hopefully, I can shoot them and mount them on the car on the same day .... chances are It'll be friday. I will post some photos once its complete. :tup: Btw, its more bronze.

I own a body shop so, i'll be using coloured base & flat clear coat. I've refinished a lot of other rims and the hold up has been really good.

lol...I've seen gold on a GM and I wasn't digging it. I'm pretty sure gold on your white Z will look good cause I've painted gold rims for a white lexus before and looked good. :tup:

Waiz 02-18-2012 05:19 PM

OP, any plans of going aftermarket?

It would really setoff your exterior more than the stock wheels ;)

:iagree: :( .... most likely next year I search for a set. Just can't decide on which one I like so, I thought I'd play around with the colour for this year.

Omikron 02-20-2012 08:13 AM

Nice! Ok you helped me make up my mind. Thanks!

If you have time for better shots of that color that would be great. Would like to have it for the powdercoater when I order rims. Thanks!
