I am going to powder coat my rims on my Ms6. I have Black Mica what is the best colour for my car ? Hyper black? Glossy black? Gunmetal? Or Bronze?
I was thinking dark gunmetal with gloss finish?
Please let me know your opinions and thaughts
Thanks

dark gunmetal... do a poll vote...

Thanks man.. I decided to go with graphite gunmetal grey glossy. Since the car is Black Mica it has some graphite grey in it I think this colour will look good. Not too dark but for sure not light I will post pics when I get them done. I almost went bronze btw

good choice i think the graphite gray will look amazing on the black mica.

At first I was dead set on gold - but then decided too flashy. Now I think I have settled on a lighter bronze, like what the Gram Light 57F's come in. Super hot on a Black car. I agree Black on Black is not the best combo, especially since Black Mica is closer to deep grey then black.

Lol.... the thread was up 10 hours (most during the middle of the night) and then you made your decision in haste? Anyways, I would have voted for a dark bronze color on the black mica. That would look hot!

But since you already made up your mind (and possible ordered?) I guess it's a moo point.... you know, like a cow's opinion.... It doesn't matter.
