I took these wheels to a shop for Powder Coating. I told him to do a Gunmetal Color flat. Didn't know how it was going to look but opinions please..... I can do another finish later. The color looks lighter or darker in different light.
Painters have different interpretations of the color. Yours looks like a light grey on the third pic. Gunmetal color should be darker. Did you show him a pic on how you wanted the color? Here are some examples.

That bmw is sweet but the wheels are in the darkest shade.
I showed him and asked if he wanted to hang on to the pic and he said no. I think I saw KcMaxx 17" wheels powder coated in a darker gunmetal. But like you say everyone has a lighter or darker version. [/quote]
I believe the powder I went with was Tiger brands P5. I might be off on the brand but I know the color was the P5. It looks alot different than those driveway pics (unmounted)
Here's a few others.
The wheels on the blue Z are flat black. I talked to him on another board when he had them for sale. They were also spray painted.

Got it over with and they are mounted. The one of the G35 wheels had a bad dent and I don't know what to do about that but I wanted to powder coat those too.
Thanks! I am thinkin the handles and badges too. The calipers are stock but maybe blue or Silver might work. The guy said he could powder coat the grille too.
Update... Got the grille powder coated same color as wheels. The lower grille is powder coated black. The emblem has been painted black. I'm using the trunk emblem because it fits the circle perfect and not huge like the oem grille emblem. By popular demand the handles are gone. Not installed yet because I got more stuff to install. Oh and the wheels look even better Dirty. Plenty of looks and turning heads with the wheels alone. My theme is "Anti-Chrome" no bling on my max !

The shop might do it over free of charge or they might say NO.
