Thoughts, hate mail?
Well, this is a temporary spray bomb job to see if I like the color for powdercoating. Thoughts? Personally, I like it.

Not a fan of gold rims... For what you're shooting for though, looks really good. Go for it.

I like it alot...buuuut its lacking alot of gleem and gloss, it LOOKS like flat gold spray paint. i like the color, but not the finish if you get me, it could be the angle but im not sure.

Well, it is a little flat, but that lighting doesn't really do it justice. I will take a better daytime pic tomorrow, there is some metallic in it that really mimics the stock STi hue. I think that bronze looks better in a satin rather than a gloss. For example, one of my previous vehicles:

Well, here are a couple of day time ones so you can see the effect of the paint better. It has some metallic, and a low sheen, I like it.







Wheel gap is for sissies.
