As close to the colour of the plastic driving light pods on the front and the plastic rear lower bumper as possible. I'm stoked - I reckon it looks awesome. And it's only a photoshop!

Nah I love it... I don't think black black would suit. They still stand out in they colour you managed. A matt finish will be awesome... And I won't be worrying so much about brake dust!

That looks pretty close how it is.

The guy who powdercoated mine, said there are a few different types of black. Mine are gloss, i think you'll be wanting matt black.

Yup... Matt is what I will want. Can you get matt powdercoat?

The guy who did mine said he could.

He was going to do mine matt because his supplier didn't have any gloss, but i waited about 3 weeks to get the gloss done. Was worth it i think.

The gloss black ones look supreme on the VE's in Sting, there is a GTS which has them done in gloss around here, looks 100x better than original wheels.

Some photos I took today after completing it's first full detail since I picked it up... Not perfect yet, but I'm still doing it by hand.

Close ups of the paintwork...

No... The GTS has 20 inches (same width though) and a different style also.

Is it the stock wheels your getting powder coated? or a different style rim?
