OK, I have a 1998 Artic White Pearl (QNO) SE that I sprayed some HOK ice blue pearl over. Looks pretty sweet IMHO, not to flashy, doesn't really take away from the factory color & only lights up when the sun hit's it just right.

Anyways, I've been running a set of 5 star Murano's on it for about 6yrs now & recently decided to have them powdercoated. Matter of fact, they have been blasted & are just waiting for me to choose a color. A good friend of mine owns the shop & it being extremely patient with me.

Heres my problem, I can't pick a damn color. I've looked at everything from the factory silver color to different shades of Gun Metal, to every shade, level of gloss & texture of black & still cannot seem to find the right color. I don't know if it's so difficult because the car is white or what?

For some reason I keep leaning towards just doing them white & then spraying the pearlcoat with the HOK blue pearl on top? The only thing that keeps me from doing this is the fear that white rims will be a ***** to keep clean??? I could really use some suggestions & maybe a few pic's of artic pearl 4th gens with different color rims.

I'm so lost right now but I'm at a cross road right now between stock silver & white??? Let me know what ya'll think...

if ur choices are between stock silver and white, definetly go with the silver, maybe just a little touch of gun metal.

I just don't know if White on White would be Right. Especially during the Obama era???

lets try to keep this classy bud, honestly; go for something diffrent, dont go overboard.. I think the white would be pretty scnazzy but i dont know, the OEM w a hint of Gun wouild be nice too =]

Thanks for the reply's. It truely is difficult now that I'm right at the point of choosing the color(s). I am kinda limited on what can be done due to the type of masking tape they use. It's a special heat resistant kind of stuff that is limited by the amount you can curve it. Sometimes while the parts are baking at 400* the tape likes to either lift or shrink. So getting super clean lines is tricky...

I'll see what I can come up with. I was up pretty late last night photoshopping some stuff & i think I have a rough idea of what I want. The good news is if they come out looking like ISH he'll redo them for me.
