Going to powder coat wheels. Which should I go with? - Toyota 4Runner Forum

Got my Army Green TRD Sport. I plan to powdercoat the wheels. Should I go with satin, glossy, or matte black? Gunmetal is possibly an option?

I feel like a flat bronze or goldish color would look better. Gunmetal would be my second choice.

I have seen a couple Tacomas with the same color, bronze wheels and trim. I forget what the actual trim/package is called. But it's got me wanting to flat bronze all my emblems and silver bits inside the vehicle to match my wheels.

I would go with a nice dark bronze or gunmetal if you're not a fan of it; it balances the look more. Black is fine, but it doesn't "pop" as well as the other two options with that green.

Bronze.

A dark bronze for sure. Wait... that's a TRD Sport? It looks like a Limited. New trim level?

This may help with the bronze

Agreed,
Trd colour, sport hood, limited front end and limited wheels pre 2014 is what I can see.

I think I'd go satin, maybe less likely to show water spots? I personally did my 20s in Brass Monkey Hyper Dip, because it's a very deep greyish bronze.

I was ready to go gunmetal, but made a last minute change and went satin black. Since the center caps were gray, I had those painted as well. Here she is currently. Going to add the blackout badgesm Ellis gear shifter, and huskey cargo liner next.
