Want powder coat ZCP to RED on SSII.

Zzhou · 12-19-2012, 09:49 AM

I'm thinking about powder coat my ZCP wheel to RED on my SSII car. What do you guys think? Currently it is black, and I am tired of the look, want something bright.

As a daily wheel I wouldn't do it. SSII and red are a bad match IMO. But, if it is for track use I say go for it. In fact I'm considering some loud ass color for my track wheels........Phil

Well, its going to be DD wheel, going to get some 18s for track only..

I think that would be hideous, but it's your car, if you want to then do it.

Raja Ventureshield · 12-19-2012, 12:51 PM

i think it would look good but a bit flashy.
i say do it.

Ageed - street no, track yes!

Depends on the shade of red. If it were something dark or muted like Imola Red, I think it could work. If so, I definitely think it'd be better than black. This current murdering out trend is all-pervasive and generally sacrifices a lot of the character of these cars and wheels. Just sayin'.

UBER ///M3 · 12-19-2012, 04:24 PM

id go for it for track use like the others said IMO you would get tired of it for street use, ive contemplated the same

Zzhou · 12-20-2012, 12:01 AM

What about both street and track on the same wheel, I current don't have a second set of track wheels.

atermechi · 12-20-2012, 12:37 AM

maybe these will be of an intrest to you, they were originally on a space grey and I made them my track set up.

Wow that color looks sick

. Do you have any full picture of the rims?

NM found it

MRV99 · 12-22-2012, 02:10 AM

Have you thought of doing a plastidip in red. It would be a cheap and easily reversible way to try it out before you do a fully permanent solution. Google search that and you will find tons of info. People have even plastidip'd entire cars with good results.

I did plastidip it in black as it is now. I don't want to waste time to clean and paint it again.

Zzhou · 01-09-2013, 03:05 PM

My 359M sent to powder coat RED! Will post pic later.

Zzhou · 01-22-2013, 12:17 AM

wheels came back today.

dex37 · 01-22-2013, 08:30 AM

They look quite good. I am considering of painting my 359m blue, but I am not sure if it wouldn't bee to flashy for a DD.
