Getting new arachnids powder coated and brakes painted

[Razdds2]

Dropping off the black plaid today for a new look. Brakes will be painted yellow with black Tesla lettering. Wheels will be full gloss or semi gloss, hard to choose but leaning towards full gloss because it'll match the trim.

Does anyone have pics of yellow brakes or glossy wheels on their S?

Where did you get the color matched door handles?

3M makes a vinyl (G217) that matches the blue. I did the most the trim in that to see if I liked it (instead of the black chrome delete). Now I've actually painted the rear applique and front "T" to colormatch now. I actually have a set of handles at my painter being colormatched that I'll install some time next week. In the last pic, I have the word Tesla in black now

Which spoiler is that? Car looks great, are you going to tint the rear reflectors by the diffuser?

It's the V-style carbon fiber spoiler that I had painted to match as well.

Yeah, already have the film, just need to find the time.

I went with semi-gloss, just wanted it to closely match the black trim on the car. Really happy the way it turned out.

Wow ! Mores pictures ?
What you do with the caliper..repaint, cover ?

 

[Razdds2]

No more pictures at the moment, the car is quite dirty so I will be washing it on Sunday. The calipers were painted and black decals put on them.

Do you have any more pics of your car wheels and brake calipers? Have a black car and debating whether to do semi-gloss or satin black wheels with yellow or red calipers. Just to clarify, you had these painted or powder coated?

I did gloss finish.

So no one painting their primer-gray brake rotor hats?

Getting mine done in gloss black this week will look better with the wheels

Nice. I'll be interested to see how that looks in gloss black. I haven't been able to decide if they will look better in a nice silver or black, but either way they will look so much better than flat primer gray.

Here is mine after getting powder coated. I drove a few hundred miles before I got around to taking a pic so they are a bit dirty.
I went with a metallic black'ish as all like 10 or so shades of black were the same price ($350/all 4 rims), so it took some debating while looking at all the washers they had on the wall.

How much did this cost you? I am looking into it myself

 

[TLLMRRJ]

In Houston, you can get a set of 1 piece wheels powder coated for $600.

If I went away from stock, I think I would be tempted to go with this Lexus LFA wheel color with my red MS.

How do you guys think this color would look on 21’s on a red MS?
