Powdercoating Color Poll
Ok guys, some of you already know that I'm getting some stuff powdercoated (Thanks Mike!) to get a little more attention on the road and at shows. Here is my dilemma:
I got my Injen Intakes and an oil cap powdercoated by Mike in Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic and just got them back yesterday. I LOVE the color in direct sunlight, but feel that it might be a little washed out in lower lighting conditions. The problem is that my calipers are getting coated next, and they won't get a lot of direct sunlight. So here are my options: A) Keep Daytona Sunset Orange Metallic:    B) Switch to Atomic Orange:

I like it, will give good contrast in light and dark, but still have enough pop all the time.

No opinion here - not a big fan of PPW and Orange together.

Agreed atomic looks a little too bright. Though like you said take into account that it wont be in direct sunlight.
