Default What color to powder coat ????

I am putting on the Baer Alumasports on all four corners and real quick id like to hear what you guys think.

I cant stand the color red and i will not put any red in my truck so with that said I am going to have the calibers powdercoated. At first I was goinig to color match them to my truck (dark metallic grey) but then i thought about flat black and had never seen it before nd thought it might look cool. So what are your guys thoughts and also any other idea would be great too.

By the way the wheels are black chrome and the grill also and all emblems are off and everything else is colormatched.

I know they have a chromish powdercoat, do they have a black chrome? If so that would look great since your wheels are that way. Otherwise silver or satin black IMO.

Heres one of the only pics i have its in the shop getting the front redone (SS bumper and fix some front end damage) its been lowered since the pic 2/4 but basically its either all colored matched (mirrors,handles) or black chrome (wheels,grill). The side molding is also coming off.

He is talking about powder coating calipers, but a local place to me will do a set of 20" wheels that are just polished for $60 each. If there have to remove any finish, it will cost more.

Well I went wth flat black the shop needed an answer yesterday.

I choose flat black simply becuase ive never seen it before and it should look good behind the rims along with the 14 inch rotors. Ill post pics of my truck when i get it back.
