Love the gunmetal. Not sure if you can tape and powder coat to leave the silver lip. Planning on polishing the lip?

I have gunmetal rims on my LP sedan and I like the silver on those rims better. Now maybe with a polished lip the gunmetal.

Hey man I'm doing black rims on my car, and I did a lot of research on powdercoating, and I found out that it can actually weaken the metal of the wheels when it goes through the baking process. I decided to paint mine instead. So you should do a little research, I'd hate to hear about somebody's wheels breaking while driving or something crazy like that. As for color, looks awesome, I really like OEM wheels done in a different color.
