I have an 03 diamond graphite. With smoked out tail lights. And I'm keeping the stocl 18 in. Light grey ones but want to paint them. I'm not sure. What color..I'm deciding between. Black either glossy or more of a mat black. Not sure. Or go with a darker gun medal ish color ...and which either one I pic. Should I leave the brembos gold? Hope to hear from u guys. Thanks. Here is a link to a car just like mine car color and rims...http://calgary.aderk.ca/2003-Infinit...-Cars/view318/

 

whoa brake dust.

hrm, I'd love to see it in matte black/ flat black. just me .02

 

thats what im leaning towards.....a flat black but i still was\am open to suggestions and opinions

 

I like em as is...just clean them.


Clay bar + wax = makes a big difference

 

Gunmetal with stock gold brembos would be best!

 

gunmetal or mate black, im painting mine mate black when it gets a lil warmer

 

I've just spent 20 minutes reading about this process, talk about endless
possiblilties.... That would be the place to have your rims
painted, they could paint the whole rim with the exception of the lip edge
and polish that. I'd have the wheels done in diamond graphite (color of
your car) or gunmetal that would be wild! Black has been over done!

im still leaning Mat black... what color should break calipers be? stay gold? or what red,silver,blue,gold?

 

Leave your calipers gold unless you're going to the expense of having them
powder coated. Try doing a search on diamond graphite coupes, if you'll
notice the color wheels that make it pop are lighter colors like gunmetal.
Hey, it's your car do what you think is best....

Gunmetal for sure

 

metallic gunmetal or diamond black, but not flat black.

 

id go with a similar color to the brake dust..lol maybe a dark GM

 

^ yeah, get rid of those OEM pads and get a set of Endless or Project Mu.

 

lol in response to the "color of the brake dust " lol yea sometimes i would wish they'd stay dirty with break dust they looked bad *** lol.. but i did the paint job i wanted a bit diff. because alot of G's around here i see with lighter color rims so i went with Low Gloss black. sanded them down, primered them, then added the paint. I left the center cap and lug nuts Silver, really makes them stand out, but i can always paint those . and while i was at it, i added spacers to the back ... im glad with the look, pics will come but i finished at night so its to dark to get a good look, i'll take pics tomorow, and btw i left the calipers gold,

thanks tho for the feedback,,, oh and one more question off the subject, someone is trying to sell me an OEM Nav for the G and says its new, asking price 400. Good? i thought id ask since im onhere,. ok later guys Godbless
