  • Looking for a Bronze Close to This

    Ok, so I have a set of wheels that need done in a bronze. I was thinking like STI bronze, or maybe a little darker. It could go a little darker, but you get the idea. Anyone? Some real life sample pics would be great. (not just the pics from PBTP)

    STi wheels I always considered gold not bronze. When I think of bronze I think of TE37s. Like Harley said, the Sun Gold is probably a close match.

      Thanks for the input guys, but Sun gold is way too light. I would prefer the TE37 look over the Sun Gold.

        I haven't seen a bronze yet that is quite the same as the TE bronze.

          Absolutely perfect... I would be able to stand something a liiittle lighter, but this color would be great.

            I used that bronze on a VC back over the winter and I can say that its definetely darker then the TE bronze.

              Hmmm, I think that the TE is close to as dark as I'd like to go. Anyone else have any suggestions?

                Either way, Interior or semi gloss, should be fine with a Exterior gloss clear on it, right???

                  How about a Golden Bronze? This is from NIC with a high gloss clear.

                    Hmmm, thats a nice color, but it's a liittle too orange and I dont want that much sparkle. Thank you all for all of the effort and input. Sorry I'm being picky

                      No need to apologize. At least I didn't coat a set of 22" rims for you and THEN have you tell me you didn't like the color!
