Nice work. I like the color scheme. How about tinted turn signals for your next exterior mod?

what color did you specifically get your rims powercoated. I think thats exactly the color/gloss finish I am looking to do. Anything would be appreciated, figure its better than going to the place and showing a picture and saying make my rims look that that (finger pointing to picture)

nice idea though.
Nah they look perfect in person. I asked for the emblems off of a 99 Miata. Why would I want a huge *** emblem like the ones on the SUVs right?

How would I go about doing that? More spray painting? My friend that helped me do the calipers also suggested the same thing but I wasn't sure of how it'll turn out.

I don't know the name of the powdercoat paint for my rims. I bought them like that from BATMAN, maybe he can tell you more about them.

Use on what? No clear coat on the caliper. If you're asking about the emblems it's the same brand as the caliper paint: Dupli-Color Truck,Van &SUV Clear Top Coat. It's a silverish/white can with a clear plastic cap.

Looks great, the only thing I like more is no emblems. Also they sell special paint for the turn signals. (summit is where I got some. Dam, I Hate that Banana.

looks really nice..

for the turn signals, any real model shop should have a transparent black. some have reds and other colors so you can tint windows and such on model cars. my friend used it on the reverse lights on his dsm. it turned out really good. if you want i can get you a picture, but it might be a day or two before i see him again.
