Paint Job suggestions for stock RAYS...
 
Ok so now i've put my carbon fiber fang cover on from EVO-R and i tinted my windows 50%... I want to get my RAYS sprayed maybe charcoal but metallic or black??? Maybe the outlines in silver and rest charcoal ???

What suggestions do u guys have for a paint job for my rims?? Here is a picture of the car for you guys who are able to photoshop the ideas.... (my bad i also mean powdercoat them sorry guys)

dont paint them powdercoat them :D no matter how well u spray the rims itll chip cuz paint chips.... powdercoat can take more of a beating.... charcoal gray powdercoated would look indeed sick :D

Eric 11-10-2009 06:36 AM

:iagree: Powder coat them.

I also think that white powder coated rims might look sick on a white Z.

alexpila 11-10-2009 06:42 AM

Yeah i mean powder coat or whatever sorry guys... keep the suggestions coming! And where are u photoshop gurus!

In my opinion, if you change your wheels away from silver, you will have to either color match the handle to the body paint, or paint such that the handles and wheels are similar colors. With that said, I think a gunmetal-esque color would work great, especially with a tint and carbon fiber job going onto the car.

id probably go a shade or two darker if i had white. but it doesn't look bad the way it is right now.

Auto-wash for the headlights, it is a feature I think that is required on all cars in Europe now.
