Powdercoating Alloys - anyone done this??

[seadragon]

I saw a site where you can get your alloys pretty much powdercoated any colour you want and wondered what people thought, eg, I saw some alloys done in Porsche Iris Blue and I think they look pretty good.

I know its all personal choice but I also dont want to get it done and then hate it afterwards

Do it, get them in "Hot Pink"

 

[DanGB]

get someone to photoshop a picture for you.

I know a few folk who have used those guys, they are very good


I'm looking to get mine done when I get my new Leon, drop it off @ 7am & they'll do it same day, remove tyres & rebalance the wheels.

I just pick it up later that day about 5pm, all done

Yes thats what I was thinking as well, just need to decide on a colour to go with my Candy White FR, going to be a touch choice, maybe as Dan suggested get someone to photoshop for me.

I actually saw a Smart car with alloys powdercoated pink to colour match the car and they looked pretty good (not that pink is my colour lol) but I think the FR alloys, as lovely as they are, need a bit of livening up.

Heres a Photoshop of a Candy White FR with 18's in Porsche Iris Blue

Anymore colours wanted just ask.

 

[ghosty]

if you dont mind, you couldnt do me a red FR with red wheels could you please

 

[ghosty]

the iris blue look good with the candy, i forgot to say

Couldn't get a hi-res pic but here you go.

P.P.C alloys look good but personally i would stick to shades rather than colours ie greys and blacks, possibly white but i think colours tend to be a bit too bold

 

[seadragon]

Thanks S-X-I, thats awesome. I like them both.

Now I see the blue I am not sure I like it enough to have it on my car but in a Matt it might looks quite good I think.

I think having my wheels powdercoated white would be too much I think, maybe matt black or anthracite would be nice but would be a shame not to try something 'different' because if you choose the right colour it could be AWESOME.

This might sound weird but having a Khaki colour in a Satin might look quite good

 

[G2232]

a gun metal grey usually looks good but i agree that something a little different if got just right would look good

 

[S-X-I]

Heres another two options.

Matt Black

And a Khaki/Gold colour

 

[G2232]

i have to admit eventhough could be a little cheesy the khaki/gold look GOOOOD

 

[seadragon]

Now that Khaki looks awesome, I might consider that but maybe less yellow and more green, more like a Camo Khaki colour.

Thanks again, you are a star

 

[S-X-I]

Something a bit more like this?

I must admit i love the look of the Matt Black ones.

 

[seadragon]

Quite a bit darker please, dont go to too much trouble ?

 

[S-X-I]

Like this?

Its no trouble once you've to the right bits selected, a 30 second job to colour change.

Now thats what I am talking about !!!!
