    I am going to to try to powder coat my OEM rims tomorrow.

    Any suggestions on the color?

    My car is Rally red with a carbon fiber hood.

    please vote, if you dont see your option please reply with suggestion

    Should i go black or grey, or dark grey.

    Please reply with suggestions.

    Also does anyone know the drying time of the powder coat, i know they bake the wheels, just wanna know how long it takes before i be on the road.
