    Will powdercoat color GR1342/CL02 look good on euroweaves?

    I dropped my wheels off at the powder coater and chose GR1342 silver with a CL02 clear. I was hoping for something similar to hyper silver or at least a brighter silver than BBS grey.

    Never worked with powdercoat before and its hard to tell from the sample chips so please let me know if I should change my color request.

    Thanks!!

      Unfortunately I can't find any good pictures that say this silver was used. I was hoping someone familiar with the Cardinal paint codes could tell me.

      I attached a picture of GR1342. I think it might be a little dark.

        I am thinking GR06 might be a better color?

          I think it depends on the color of your car. Personally, I think darker cars look better with bright silver. And lighter cars, look better with darker Metallics

          Just painted my style 5s, I think it's close to gr06 is close to it. Mine might be lighter but because of the lighting?

            Thats a silver I would prefer. Something lighter than the typical bbs grey.

            My car is Brilliantrot. I think bright silver to nogoro look good on the color, but thought the vibrant silver would make it pop better.

              I updated the request to GR06/CL02 after seeing some pictures of wheels done in this color. Color is GR06 in the picture with a higher gloss clear, probably CL01.

              Image of wheels with GR06:

                        15" Euroweaves. They look small in the wheel well because the suspension is at full droop and no tires :)
