Looking to change the color of my DG RPF1's this summer and was looking to see what powder coat color you all liked. Here is what I am interested in.

1. Gunmetal

What color is your ride?

My ride is BSP (Black Sand Pearl). My RPF1's are currently Matte Black, in 17x8.5 +30 offset. I am leaning towards Gunmetal for the metallic flake look, but I would like some opinions.

I'd say bronze or gold but within your choices, can't go wrong with either, IMO.

Go bronze. I just got bronze rims. Not enough people with BSP and bronze yet.

I was thinking of doing something like that, but I don't want a crazy bright color... just think that is meant for drift cars lol... I want to keep it clean and simple, which is why my colors I am deciding between aren't that extreme. I will have some bright "stand-out" calipers though once they are done!

Go Gold! I want to get the DG for my Nautica Blue but would want to have them redone in gold instead.

i knew this thread was about you goofy rims, even before I opened it. But IMO you should paint them greenish, yellowish, brown. I think that would look cool.

Your just jealous :P

Did you ever get some RPF1's Domo? Or are you going a different route? And of course it is about these, I can't have the same color as everyone else haha.

Do you know just how incredibly awesome that would be?

It would definitely be unique, and original. Oh how much I love, and loath, jager!

Actually, I'd bet it was the Red Bull. It gave your McDonald's some wings alright. : p

You should let me do your wheels in glow in the dark!

I like the idea of glow in the dark, but I'd bet that the effect has a finite life time.

I'm still thinking purple though.

Domo
11-12-2009, 01:23 AM
im not jealous :icon_frown:...ok i am haha because i had a chance of getting em. I think I will just save up for a turbo and rims later on. Im happy at least someone with good styling picked them up. In my opinion gold would be sick but would be a little played out. Black chrome would look sick but then people will just think they are the SBC version.

t_urbo_C_harged
11-12-2009, 01:29 AM
It says it continuously glows actually. And it better at $6 an ounce! Takes roughly 2 lbs to do a set of wheels. That is $192 for 2 lbs. I haven't done a set in a while, so I could be slightly off, but still!

Exactly! That is why I am leaning towards the gun metal right now as well.

Candy Purple?

looks cool, but def. not for me. I would be happy to do it for you el capitan!

I meant that over time, the compounds that cause it glow would break down and the product would cease to glow even after all day in the sun.

Purple on a black ride will look nasty. You need a lighter color to balance out the contrast. Purple on white looks nice but not purple on black.

duuude. jager color with the deer centercaps would be sick, lol. do itttt!

that one is nice! I want to experiment with adding flakes to the powders, that would be cool.

On the candy purple, it is a topcoat and whatever you use as the first/base coat can show through. So a nice silver metallic would look good underneath the candy purple. I don't know if it would look as good as that one, although purple isn't my color lolz.
