Powder coating my bbs what colour?????

[shyshycabby]

I have a ford frozen White tech 1 cabby and I just bought orional 15" bbs and going to get them returned or powdercoatin at this new place near me for 50 a wheel but stuck on what to get!!! What either thinking to just do them black except sicker on the centre ring (small bit round the badge on the centercap) or was thinking doing White round the lip black center? What do you think? Any suggestions? Cheers shy

white round the lip will get too dirty too fast , but for just powder coating £50 a wheel sounds a bit expensive ?

goggle powder coating and your location, and ring round places , if they dont need refurbing and kerbing taken out etc and a lot of work and its just the painting,then should be cheaper than 50 each

I'm sure when it comes to powdercoating you cannot get a coloured lip unless you wet paint.

I vote Anthracite on a white car. My wheels are black with a red lip and haven't got the time at the minute to paint them again.

Also £50 should be blast, slight rub over kerb marks and coating.

Also you can't blast powdercoat AFAIK.

Yer powdercoating costs more the just spraying coz the magnatize it and all that business plus I'm London thing are more expensive!
Originally was gna do black think it looks good
Maxfield I like anthracite wheels but I think sometimes they can look like a dirty silver at times . Plus I see ur car in sig u got a tech 1? If so I like your bumper what is it? I wana do the same with the black lip to match as I dnt like the tech 1 front bumper

Use paint.net or photoshop to mock some colours up...

White for contrast, Anthracite would look good, black could look good also?
