Styling hmm! What Colour..?

[Oakley28]

Hello,

Im thinking of having my Blades refurbished and possibly powder coated. Just interested to think what colour people would suggest having on a CrystalGreen (or whatever it is) colour Stilo? Also, what colour would you paint the calipers too?

Any advice or suggestions would be great.

Black and Black.

Is Black not too dark against the light metallic colour?

 

[volxstu]

Take a decent res photo and ill shop it for ya.
Let me know what other colours you have in mind. I think the light black haze over the silver could look good as well. I cant remember what its called.

There is a MW that lives near me in I think the same colour, with blades. They are silver and I think they look good. I would say either silver, or possibly white. Anything else will just clash with the car colour (unless that is what you want ), in witch case I would also add some other details on the car in the same colour as the wheels.

What like the black trims

Lol the trims are being colour coded when the car goes in to my mates body shop for a full scratch removal touch up thingy and a machine polish. Then the wheels will be getting done, but not sure on the colour.

Car is this colour...

Yeah i like the shadow silver type colour that has been put on the back wheel there in that pic.

Silver 17" should be between £35 and £45

 

[Oakley28]

Costing me £180 for all 4 refurbed and powder coated - in whatever colour that shiny black one is on my car.

 

[ramborobert]

Place locally is chargin £80 per wheel plus vat!!

 

[volxstu]

Thats 2 hours per wheel
Go somewhere else.

Got mine refurbed and resprayed gloss white for £45 a wheel. But if you have white alloys your forever cleaning them!!!

 

[Oakley28]

Don't think my colour would suite white at all.

 

[Oakley28]

Should I have the bump strips colour coded, or should i just have them re-treated in black. What would people do?

 

[onas5]

I wanted to leave mine without the colour coded bumpstrips to break up the side (and match my tints of course!) but im seriously re-considering colour coding it just so it looks smart and modern (if u get what i mean)...so yes.Do it. lol
