Help choosing colour alloy please...

[Cat]

I'm new here guys and look forward to all those useful comments on what colour CH's I should go for... I want to get my 18's refurbished and in a different colour... here are some photosops of the different options...

(I hope I've done this right - first time posting!!)

I want a OE look with some class rather than a "Rude boy" look if that makes sense!

Got to go green, that ain't rude!

I'm asking for advice because I can't seem to find any pictures of and mkV's with CH's on a RS golf that aren't silver... I just want some opinios (about the colour options)... maybe an alternative colour if I haven't included it, I could do the quick photoshop of it??:thumbsup:

I was looking for some examples of alloys this colour but couldt find anything! You say you you haven't seen that "very much" is it something you've seen somewhere or have a picture of? I'd be curious to get a paint code and do a test to see what it looks like...

idk i dont have any paint codes for it but i am sure i have seen similar colors on wheels before ... maybe try swinging by your local powder coating shop or paint shop

silver plat, would look sweet, and its subtle enough to stand out, but also make a statement...imho

Yeah, I've asked a bunch of shops and none are really that helpful... I'll have to keep trying... Thanks pal!

maybe try these colors
light grey
silk grey
pastel blue
there are many other colors on that site i just listed a few that i thought might be similar to what you are looking for

That's a useful website, thanks a lot, I'll have to see if there is anything on there! I'd like the paint to have a slight metalic look rather than being completly flat in colour...

 

[Doug18]

yea maybe it can help you describe to your paint shop what you want too well gl

I've been toying with refinishing my CH's too. They're the factory black editions. I've been thinking an anthracite color would be cool, but it's hard to find actual pictures of refinished CH's.
