CaptainRatty's is38 GTI.. I have no idea what I'm doing (kind of) build

[zwalk]

Dumb thing to notice but shit do I love that carbon wheel

More nudes! Had the wheels powder coated.

 

[CaptainRatty]

I've become good friends with my local powder coater... Thinking about having the brakes re-done now. I'm thinking Smurftastic blue, but not 100% sold on it.

• Red- It works and while there are lot of other reds (a deep red with lots of flake would look nice) I probably don’t want to do anything in the red family
• Yellow- Works for sure, but kinda overdone.
• Green- No.
• Neon yellow- That would also work, but that's a commitment.
• White- No.
• Metallic black- Eh, maybe
• Orange- No.
• Purple- I'd be all about on a silver wheel, but it would have to be very dark and I think I want more contrast against the bronze.

Smurftastic Blue

Wow... That smurftastic blue is beautiful.

I'm thinking of going the same direction of powder coating if my calipers start peeling/fading.

not really feeling it on your car......somehow, the blue with bronze with your car and all the pops of red......not sure....almost too dramatic. I guess I'd need an example of it on a car to really see how it all meshes. If you're going that dramatic.....neon green or yellow

I like it as is; light blue is an attention whore grab, and like @swcrow said, the colors totally clash.

All of the red including all four brakes, the shift knob, and the intake would be replaced with Smurftastic blue. Time to play with photoshop.

Don't do it man. Smurfs are assholes.

Fine. Another option is Performance gold stacked with a zero gloss clear... It finishes to be a super pale champagne/gold

Too close to your wheel color.

Try this color:

Change the red line in the grill and lights too

 

[swcrow]

GD that song drives me crazy.

@CaptainRatty I vote silver if you want something different. It’s subdued but sharp.
