    Default A difficult choice: which color for the mags

    Well, after a few years of use, the paint is sort of chipping off a bit, and I scraped 'em a couple of times on the sidewalk. So it's time to putty, sand, paint and finish 'em with clear. Here are some of the potential colors. On top is the current anthracite. Whatever way I go, the chrome trim is going semi-gloss black (not the front grills chrome).

    And it's a very difficult choice, but I'm so far bent on going gold.

    IMO

    I would say the gold (center) would look great on Style 5 wheels but the ones you have I would go for the black ones!

    it looks awesome with those wheels

    I really like the copper color (2nd from the bottom). It's definately not as common as gold, silver, black, or red.

    Mmm.... difficult to make my mind up, but indeed, I may go for silver. My goal is to paint over the weekend. Sand tonight, and start to paint on Saturday, and to be finished by Sunday.
