Styling Paint or Powdercoat :chin:

im surprised to not see this repeatedly on here.

whats the best coating for longevity whilst still looking good!? gotta get my blades done. im probably going for a mid grey, kinda half way between anthracite and the standard silver.

if anyone has any pics of the blades, in various colours, on a black 3 door, feel free to share.

I would suggest to powdercoat them in gold, member Dax, got a good example of gold blades. Should look really good on a black Stilo

As far as i know, it last longer, less likely to chip from small rocks or similar, powder coating gives better and thicker coverage on a wheel.

What about yellow wheels on a black car? Or red. For me personally, i like a bit more stand out colors, rather than silver/dark silver/chrome silver/gunmetal.
