I just purchased a Millennium Yellow Z06 and took the wheels off to have them powder coated. I am going to do them black, but would like some suggestions on what shade black. They game me a website, prismaticpowders.com for samples. I am looking at card black, which is a semi gloss black, or blackjack, which is more of a satin black. What do you guys think?

I just posted right above your thread on my flat black ones I just got done. But flat black is less forgiving. But the company gave me a direct match in a rattle can. They actually said they couldn't do the center caps and I did them myself using the can they sold me and they look just as good as the wheels and match perfectly.

My STi wheels where Semi Gloss black, I like a little shine on them personally rather then the Flat.

Stain usually falls between Semi Gloss and Flat.
Gloss Black (Very Shiney and wet looking)


Semi Gloss Black (slight sheen to it): <---My preference


Satin Black:


Flat Black (no sheen):

I am doing my wheels this winter for my black car and i am going with simi gloss black. I think that would work will with your car as well. I'm sure there are some members that have pics of yellow and black for you.

I have been leaning towards semi gloss. Going to drop them off Monday.

Nice car but you posted it in the wrong forum, pbarrows.

Since he revived this older thread, might be a good time to show off your custom wheel finishes, if you want.
