What you think?

Gun metal body with flat dark bronze coloured stock Rays. Hmmmm... I think I'll just shoot and see what happens.

Did you do this yet?

I have a GM and will get whatever wheels I purchase powdercoated Bronze. Would love to see what shade you end up with. Torn between more bronze or more copper, definitely matte though, no shiny copper heh....

I just sprayed my buddies rims for his yellow M3 and damn it does look good! I put his rim beside my car and it definitely compliments the GM. I will be prepping my Rays tomorrow. Hopefully, I can shoot them and mount them on the car on the same day .... chances are It'll be friday. I will post some photos once its complete. Btw, its more bronze.

I own a body shop so, i'll be using coloured base & flat clear coat. I've refinished a lot of other rims and the hold up has been really good.

lol...I've seen gold on a GM and I wasn't digging it. I'm pretty sure gold on your white Z will look good cause I've painted gold rims for a white lexus before and looked good.
