Arrow What color should I do powdercoat my wheels? Any input ?

I have a 2003 Ultra Classic Anniversary Edition, the bike is black with the silver anniversary stripe. I've been tossing around a few colors that might look good but I thought I'd ask around. I've been thinking a dark grey would look good.

This isn't my actual bike but I wanted to show the paint scheme I have.

Any input or personal pics would be great!


Thanks

I originally thought black but then I couldn't decide on flat black or gloss black.

I like the dark or light grey. Flat black works, dont think the gloss black works for me.

Just checked out this thread and now i'm really leaning away from flat black only because my bike is full of chrome, not blacked out parts. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...out-there.html

Anyone have any pics of grey powdercoated wheels on an ultra?

Contrast cut, silver and black will match nicely.

Default In response to powder coated rims

My rims are more than likely not your color, but I had them powder coated last winter. This picture is not the complete work. I have done a bit more powder coating since this picture was taken .
