Pics/Opinions of powder coating wheels
 
Hi guys,

I've just found out that we have to ability to do powder coating at work. I have the option of doing the wheels either white or blue.

I have a curvy SV650S in candy blue. The powder coat blue does not match exactly to candy blue but is very close.

Any opinions or pics please!

Personally I think that white wheel go very well with the blue paintwork. I think you should get photoshop out!

I tried to photoshop it last night but didnt turn out v good.Anyone any good at photoshop on here? :D

I can't do photoshop, but I reckon the white would look better by miles, unless you can get an exact match with the blue (there's a metallic blue powder available which is very close to the SV blue)

Thanks thor, I saw that thread this morning. Think the wheesls look the dogs but am a bit worried about the white getting v dirty v quickly!

I took some nitro moors to my wheels a while ago to see what the polished look would be like and although i like it they take ages to clean and are back in a state in no time. I REALLY like the white though!

I had a Mitsubishi Evo with white wheels and I was forever cleaning them to keep them shiny white - if you like cleaning - do it! :lol:

any colour other than balck will need to be cleaned very regularly. I have orange, and they need constant cleaning...although they dont get it!

I think that black would also look pretty good on a blue bike. :wink:

Plus they have the advantage that you could kid the uninitiated that they are OZ wheels! :wink:

Keep the opinions coming guys, I'm off home now but will see your opinions tomorrow.

Think white is winning so far!
