| So my Z is going in for paint soon (gloss black) and I need to refurbish the Stern St-7's that came on the car. Currently they are black with the chrome lip which is a style that I dont care for to much. I was thinking to paint them bronze with the duplicolor wheel paint. The bronze looks like a darker shade from what I've seen in pictures and I think it would look nice against the black with red calipers. I've read where people have put down a white or black base coat to get it more golden or darker. I dont know if I will use a clear coat as I'm still deciding between a matte or gloss look. No powder coating as I live in the Bahamas and no one does that. I figured bronze would suit this style of wheel best although a dark gunmetal might be nice as well. Let me know what you think. Also I have the Jspec Z badge on the nose panel but was thinking of removing it.....opinions?? *What year is it that they started putting the extra two brackets under the nose panel and the sloping upper radiator support area?* All pictures are wheels painted with the duplicolor bronze. These are the wheels (mine are all beat up this is just a random pic)
These were both painted with a white base coat.
 
This one with with a black base coat.
 This is the duplicolor gunmetal color.
 And these are my all time favorite wheels. If I had the cash and could find them I would but this exact color scheme on my Z.
 So guys let me know your opinions on:
Which color
Which shade
And if I should remove the badge or not.(jspec fascia if that helps) Yes it is my car and its what I think but I have not seen many nice or many Z's period in person and pictures dont always do the best job of capturing the look or feel of something. Thanks
