Thinking of painting wheels porsche platinum satin?
I scuffed up a couple of wheels so they have to be refinished anyway. I was thinking of having them painted porsche platinum satin. What do you think?
I have a 2012 alpine white competition series. Last edited by ccondo; 05-18-2014 at 12:27 AM.. Reason: Removed link |

I took your advice
I present to you competition series wheels in Porsche platinum satin.
I just got them on the car - car is very dirty. I am very pleased with the wheel color. The camera definitely does not do them justice. |

Wow, the color looks great!
In a similar situation with curb rash so had mine repainted as well. Did not select a color, just had the shop go two shades darker than the OEM silver. Looks similar to yours but a touch lighter....

OP, that looks fantastic! I really like that a lot.
And M3Carbon, no BBK for me either That would be my next big purchase though. After driving a 991 C2S, that's the one thing that is lacking on the M3 IMO.

Here are some shots during the day
Car was a little dirty. BTW The wheels were painted in a satin finish. I love the way they turned out - was not real glossy, and when the light catches them they just kind of change shades of color. Without light they look very dark but not black. I didn't want real dark because I think it hides the personality of the wheels etc. The paint guy said there are 8 different paints in this color.

Great color choice. I definitely think the color is a bit more 'robust' than the typical gunmetal grey. The satin finish is unique as well. Car looks fantastic.

Thanks
I definitely appreciate the comments. I was a nervous wreck getting the wheels painted because I already loved them so much. The last thing I wanted was to spend the cash and be less happy with them.

Painted
They were painted - I actually almost had them powder coated but I wanted to match the Porsche paint so I went with this option. The paint guy told me though powder coating would be stronger etc.
