"annoyance" and "self-righteousness", amoung others...
silver still goes really well with blue!
i still like the idea of red if you just had to still go with a hot color.
and yellow wins it out for me over orange. i really think blue and orange and people will think you're a psychotic bronco's fan.

Lol blue and orange is one of the best combo due to their contrast. Not because it has anything to do with stupid broncos ...

Blue and orange do contrast nicely (look at the color wheel for verification). Don't you watch Color Splash?

Of course, all combinations don't work for everyone. Then again, this is Karo's car we're talking about, not yours, mine, or Frank's.

Houseofkolor.com? I would think that even English paint supply should have something really close.

I decided to go with Bronze gentlemen. Maybe Bronze wheel with teal or Bronze with Blue. Don't know yet...still need to decide. Time to do the wheels and do a nice drop.

This wheel in Bronze

mag blue is Volks custom thing, people have come close to the color by doing test mixtures. If you google it there's forums discussing it. But bronze will look nice too especially with teal calipers

By "painting", I'm hoping you're meaning powdercoating?

Bronze will look very good.

The first pic looks super sick. I recently got back my 1 center cap from the shop. I'll post pictures to see if they got close to Mag color.

Here are the center caps. The only reason I don't want to go bronze is Milkman wants bronze and I don't want to jack his idea.

What do you guys think? Does it need to be lighter? Darker?
