BigBlack-V Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I took these pics with my blackberry and I would like to get them powder coated but I am undecided on a color. I dont want to go too wild but I want something no one else has. I like grey colors with a metallic that pops and I have to choose colors from www.columbiacoatings.com or www.powderbythepound.com I have also listed a few colors below. What do you guys suggest? http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/IMG00073-20100507-1804.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/IMG00072-20100507-1729.jpg http://i529.photobucket.com/albums/dd340/Jay04WRX/IMG00074-20100507-1804.jpg I would like to see a few diff grey colors one being http://us.autos1.yimg.com/img.autos.yahoo.com/ag/acura_tl_5spdatwnavigationsystem_2008_exterior_8_346x270.jpg this being the other one http://powderbuythepound.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=46_114&products_id=1608 and the other one (Toyota's magnetic grey metallic) http://archive.meguiarsonline.com/forums/photopost/data/500/IMG_3543.jpg Any color help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

jedraz Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I went thru this and stayed away from the gray and silver because my car, like yours is silver. I went flat black and love it. If you are set on silver, I think the first link would look the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmanaenk Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 1) Your color is not QGM, it's QSM. So there's a whole thread of pics with different color wheels on the car. 2) There's an sti bbs thread with these rims painted/coated a bunch of colors. 666 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are set on silver, I think the first link would look the best. I need to have them powder coated because two of them have caked on brake dust that wont come off. I dont want to go black but I do want a color that stands out. The Acura TL wheel looks to me like a little darker version of a black chrome color. I am having a few sample panels sent to my place to see the diff. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayRez33 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 have you tried a clay bar on the wheels? i've also read of this other product called sonax that is awesome on removing the caked on brake dust. heres a link to a local thread discussing removing caked on brake dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apexi Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I don't think you'll go this route, but I honestly like them as they are with the color of you car. Your car looks very nice and clean. Powdercoating your rims would cheapen the look of your car imo and just attract attention, for better of worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didnt try that stuff but I honest dont think its as strong as Simple green. I was going to try this stuff called Prosoco 600 detergent which is used by masonry guys to clean off brick and tile but it was too harsh. I would have had to dilute it like 20 to 1 and use a mask, gloved, eyewear the whole nine. If you search nasioc for Prosoco 600 you will see the thread. Check it out, I was gonna use it but I have a guy who does powder coating locally for $75 per wheel. I was 0. And I'm still a zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayRez33 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 i was gonna post the link for that too but i thought people would think i was crazy for all the safety precautions needed to use it haha...Local members have used both the Sonax and Prosoco 600 and have said both worked wonders on their wheels... If you choose to powder coat i think black would like nice or the gray of those Acura wheels looks cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
