I have a LMB and would like to have calipars powder coated. For you out there who have used the blue what was the color of your blue to give me an idea. If you have pictures of your car I would like to see what you got. I have noticed the blue on the ZR1 looks good but does anyone know what color or shade of blue that it. On top of that would that type of blue look good on a LMB. All help excepted. Thanks TIM$VETT

What ever color you go with, don't use black or chrome. When the wheel spins, the spokes disappear. Chrome disappears into the wheel and black just disappears too.

I Duplicolored mine red over 5 years ago and they still look perfect. I didn't have the extra bucks for the power coating. But, if you do use Duplicolor or the other brands, take your time, take them off and you won't be able to tell the difference between handpainted or powercoated. If you have the money, then go for the powercoated.

My C6:





This is a Duplicolor Red kit and the corvette lettered were machine buffed to reveal the Corvette Letters. Get a lot of complements. At first I missed the chrome, but no more
