Default New wheel color

I posted this thread in the wrong section so I am moving it to here lol. Anyways, haven't posted in awhile. I did these over the summer. It's called Bahama Blue metallic. I got tired of the black so I wanted to do something different. I'm also quite aware that no one likes these except for me. You can bash all you want, but I don't care. I'm not out to impress people on the internet.

It's different. I actually like it...the only think I would do is add some Blue accents to the car, maybe some grandsport stripes. Other than that, I like different.

LOOKS ****!!!! Great idea to be different. 10/10 from me. Like KissmywhiteSS said some more blue on the car would definitely pull the whole look together. Nice job!!!

Looks surprisingly good, wonder if the same color on the Trans Am side badges would go good along with that.

I don't really like the look, but that doesn't matter as long as you like it.
I do agree that adding more of the same color blue with something like pinstripes would look better.

I probably won't add anymore blue. I think that will put the rice factor to the max. I used to do a black and red theme and it was cheap/tacky ricer looking to me. I think adding more blue will do the same thing. The wheels are already almost too much. I also have a gunmetal CETA and the blue doesn't match so I don't want to mismatch even more

That is what I wanted to do originally, but I couldn't find a color I liked. I wanted to a copperish color too. Something close to SOM.

A flat copper color would look really good against the black

I say no blue accents. Put some big brakes behind those wheels and add some tint! But I like it, wouldn't look good on any other color but black I think. More pics for sure

Thumbs up

I like it to. When I had my black Z I had thought about powder coating my ZR1's blue. Sold the car before I had the chance but seeing this makes me wish I did. Pretty cool man*

Duplicolor metal specks burnt copper





Didn't want to save and host pics, so this is the "success stories" part of the duplicolor website where a guy painted his bike tank.
