Mine have had several iterations. First time around was custom mixed gunmetal rattlecan.
Second round was Duplicolor Bronze.
Latest revision was gold. All of these were rattlecanned. I'm sticking with the gold so they're being blasted and powder coated before winter now that I'm happy with the color.

when you switched between colors, what did you do? I have flat black rattlecanned right now by me, so if I want to redo them black, what do I do, or can I just wash and sand them and then paint them with flat black again? or primer first? thank you

Since you're not really changing color you could probably just wash, sand and repaint. If you are changing colors it's probably a good idea to add a coat or two of primer after sanding.

pc vs rc... does anyone know the difference in weight? I always thought that PC was a bit thicker therefore a bit heavier. i would think that you would want to reduce this weight.
nils wheels that he rattle canned white are now orange! that car looks freaking awesome now.

anybody have any of rr VIII with white or gold stock enkeis? i love the look of gold wheels on some of the rr but i'm not sure if the stock wheels can pull it off. maybe a photoshop perhaps? i'll likely keep it simple with mine and go gunmetal or matte black but i'm really curious. that gold on stiklr's looks sweet.

Black Calibers with Red Brembo decals, "Graphite" wheels with black painted Mitsubishi logo (yes, I did it), and black Enkei decals. It's not a great photo, but what do you think ?
