Im painting my BBS's...

[MysterySkittle]

when i get them back from Frodo. I'm happy with the stock silver color they are but there are a ton of little imperfections on them like scratches, tar stains, and stuff like that. my friend does auto painting and body work so he's taking car of it. No rattle can here! they will look factory quality

But what color should i do? the book he has to choose from is endless. regular silver, darker, lighter, gunmetal? i want something different though. i need your help guys.
no black, gold, or crazy colors like red and green please. heres my car for reference.

i was leaning toward keeping them silver, just wanted some input. thanks pas. what work do you need done? send me a PM

I like the silver now, you may be able to pull off a gunmetal or white though. I also think bronze might look good.

lol, thats my problem! lots of colors MIGHT look good including re-painting them silver. Photoshop just doesnt give me a really good idea of how it will turn out.

if your amazing at photoshop and can try some colors out...DO IT! my laptop is acting up and freezing on PS

yo Ant I say keep them silver and clean, and if you wanted some accents to help with your lip and headlights, do the inside of the spokes like black or gunmetal...just so it adds a subtle, almost unnoticed accent color.

i hear ya dante...maybe something like this though? its slightly darker

Do not paint your BBS's.

marc, they NEED to be painted. even if its the stock silver color again. theres too many chips and marks all over them

[Grifter]

Then atleast get them powdercoated. Have you seen any rims that your friend has done?

:no!:

I liked the subtle inside spokes w/ gunmetal...can't really tell until you're up close. < 3 sleeper style.

theres really no lip on the bbs's i have. it would look awkward with 2 colors

[MysterySkittle]

no one likes the pic of the M5 i posted?? i was thinking about that

[Boostn]

Can't find the pic i had of the rx's i had but those are close.

[Boostn]

no silver is weak so is gunmetal on white with carbon fiber ish.

those are nowhere near close to rx's but it look really good

For christ sake, just don't paint them. Get me some pictures of them first so I can see how bad they are.

[Boostn]

Here's a really bad pic.
