White or blue TE37's on white Si coupe??

[Dar-Dar]

Blue would look good, I believe.

How about now?

she's all there now... is that all the same color powder? Just changing in different light?

 

[Nomar06]

yeah....some with a camera and some phone pics too, lol

 

[webby]

did you have your wheels that blue at one point?

 

[Nomar06]

Sadly, no. After I got the powder color I didn't have the money to do it and the car had lost the susp. goodies. I still want to try to get the centercap colormatched at a paint shop so I can have it on hand but the color won't work with the BMW color. Too much blue.

tough decision! Their F-zero blue is sick too!

got the lugs, stems & decals all ordered, just need to drop off the wheels...

 

[webby]

^^^that's a hot color

 

[Nomar06]

You can get a hold of F-Zero color? It is def a super tough choice. Very nice colors.

 

[KennyGS]

Those are really gorgeous!

I wish i had fZero powder. If I was going with paint instead of powder I'd probably go with BMW interlagos blue, pretty close match but there's just something about that fzero blue. I'm learning that powder is a pain in the A** if you want a special color.

 

[Nomar06]

Yeah, you can color match better and get a smoother/glossier finish with paint.

 

[Winnn420]

I was told by one of the shops I called that they can do both which sounded like total bs to me. He said he could do a powder base, liquid color coat and then a powder clear??? To me it sounds like a finish that would flake right off. And how could he bake it if it had paint for the color.

 

[Nomar06]

I have never hear of mixing other than painting a clear on top of powder but I don't much about powder.

 

[Winnn420]

Yea I had heard of clear coating powder with paint but a middle coat of paint is rediculus

im telling you right now, do not get white wheels. i had two sets, and while they looked great clean, they were an absolute pain to keep clean. and unless the wheels are a perfect match to Taffeta White, its going to look cheap.

Dont go with a dark mag blue, do a more Laguna Seca Blue, something a bit brighter, but not quite one of those horrible neon colors that seem to be all the fad right now.

example

nevermind. i only read the first page. the second page shows the color of the wheel, and it looks great. the color i was trying to find a picture of is similar to the fzero blue.

 

[Winnn420]

While I think the fZero would look the best, I think they won't be able to match it close enough with powdercoat. White is still my fall back, I know it's a pain to keep clean, it would look great though.

Sorry to throw yet another color in the mix but I came accross the pic below and it caught my attention..satin black not only looks great on white but my blue decals , lugs & valve stems would work good, and they would be simple to keep clean!! The time attack black with the red stripe would look good but it would probably be too hard for the powder coater to match perfectly if they can even do the red stripe, and I'd have to get different decals, lugs etc.

 

[Nomar06]

Flat black wut?

TA wut? same wheel, same color but a red vinyl stripe.

 

[Nomar06]

That last pic had some gloss sprayed on it.

Taffeta White HFP wheels? que?
