Powdercoating rims

[BlackedOutHemi]

So, tomorrow I will be taking the truck in to get the stock 20's powdercoated some sort of black. I'm trying to choose between either flat black, or PXR (brilliant black) to match my truck. Any opinions on which one would look best, feel as though the PXR would be too shiny. Just in case you haven't seen it.



Also, I need to make the lug nuts black. I saw someone mention some covers, and that if I bought black ones they would chip easily. Any experiences with either the colored covers or painted ones?

I had a set of black anodized on my last car and as long as you didn't take an impact to them, they'll hold up pretty good

Flat black

i use to have a set of flat black on mine, and imo leaving the lugs chrome looks better.

Yeah, but leaving them chrome would look odd on mine. Literally nothing else is chrome, all badges have either been painted or removed, everything chrome was painted, and even the antenna was replaced. Haha.

Your tips are chrome lol. Nit pickin I know

I would do satin or gloss black

A bright black would be ok if you kept tire shine on them 24/7, if not I think it would look odd. My votes flat black.

You could always do a black with some kind of speckle in there to give it some contrast. Maybe like a silver speck or gold speck in it. Nothing too crazy just something to catch an eye other than matte black.

Flat black or a satin black that has a little bit of a gloss to it.

Honestly I would just ask these guys to photoshop the different colors for ya. Such a hard decision, it's really the only way to see what will look the best!

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

I just think the extremely shiny brilliant black would be odd looking. I had asked Wermbang to do a photoshop for me, and he did a great job. Just the flat black I believe, and I like the look of it.

lower that back end man, then you'll be set!

 

[AJMAG]

flat black for sure

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

Just dropped it off! Get it back Thursday. Can't wait.

Went with the flat black

 

[Bad Habit]

i was gonna say goto them and look at there matte and there gloss to decide...

 

[BlackedOutHemi]

The guy basically told me everybody who has tried the glossy black has absolutely hated it, and that he highly recommended the flat black. I talked with him about it for a while.
