Do we have any photoshop pros?

[sportwagen rick]

I need a little help on something. Thinking about powdercoating my Goals. Considering a matte gold/bronze or antracite/gray. I pretty much know what the gray will look like since the 17s come in gray, but I'm not sure on the gold/bronze so that's what I'd like to see.

At the moment these are probably the best pics I have to be used.

Thanks!

Can you do it in an anodized gold like this:

You can never go wrong with gold.

Thanks!

Btw was there a specific gold you used on your wheels?

[Slo.Mo.Shun]

No idea.

I just told to the guy that the refinishing:

-"I want them really gold, as close you can get to BBS Racing Gold"

Then he came out with this:



MY brother is having his enkei nt03+m painted by the same guy in gold. I can see if can get you pics and a paint code.

Man, I love your wheels. I tried to buy a set of 18s from a guy, but he flaked...

Don't know if the paint code will do me any good since I'll be going powdercoat.

So Rick, are you keeping your car now? I think a really gold gold would look nice on your car. I think about how LTshinysides' wheels look in copper on his CW JSW, and how nice they look. I wonder though how the goals would look in gold... Hmmm. Should look really nice.

[sportwagen rick]

Nothing is for sure yet. Haven't officially put it for sale, but I haven't ruled out doing so.

Yeah, I love the way the copper looks on white.

I'm think I'm liking Slo.Mo's photoshop. I keep staring at it and the car as it is now.LOL What to do? Leave them alone, go antracite/gunmetal grey, or gold.

Aren't your fogs yellow? Those gold Goals would look really nice if you had yellow fogs. Tie everything together nicely. Now that I have stared at Slo.Mo's Photoshop, the gold is really growing on me too.

I think to you should go for the gold powder coat, and you should keep your car. That is what I think, but nobody ever listens to me anyway.

[sportwagen rick]

My fogs have yellow PIAA ion bulbs, but not yellow film.

I'm leaning toward both your suggestions.

Rick, I like the goals just as they are. That would be first choice. Next would be the anthracite. If you go with the gold you'd probably have to do a "full" gold kit to follow Yikes!

With a paint code you can get a sample swatch, so the powder coat people know what to look for.
