Thread: Powdercoating OEMs for a Bathurst: What color?

I don't see a color transition in that last picture.. the almost blue in the front is just a reflection in the gloss black, not a different color.

However, that bluesteel look is pretty sweet, I may have to steal (no pun intended) your idea and run something like that myself. On a black GC, I imagine it would look awesome.

Sorry, switched thoughts: The Coupe itself in the last picture is the stock BB. I'm looking at the OEM wheels, which I'm pretty sure are gloss black or black chrome on the outside, and normal chrome near the cap. That's what I was referring to.

I still think it is just the nature of reflectivity, but it's possible they have a faded transition PC on there, looking at the back wheel I doubt it though.

However, you could certainly call around and see if anyone will do it for you.
I've been wanting to see a two-tone on the stock wheels where the center of the spokes are one color, but the curved edges are another, if that makes sense.

Something like these:

Too much Black, or not enuff?

I really like your black wheels with the black car...
however, why go for half measures?

How about a full limo window tint, and
don't forget to powdercoat those brembo brakes...
who cares if the rubes know if you have them, you do...

if you're going to the Dark Side, why not go all the way?

I'm not going for the murdered out look. I'm sticking to a black/ red theme. I need red lug nuts, and to get rid of the orange reflector in the headlights to finish it off.

HEY you stole my gloves! i need them back!!!

^LOL
Pictures reveal all that is hidden!

Hey Snail,

I found you some red lug nuts that should fit the Genesis Coupe according to specs.

Thanks. I gotta pull off a lug nut and check it. Those are acorn style lugs, and I've been told u can't use acorn style for stock wheels, that it has to be a ball tip style or it will mess up the wheel. Don't know exactly how, so I'll look.
