Quick decision on rotor "hat" color w ACR wheels

[All Blue ACR]

Doing the brake upgrade with OEM 14 inch rotors. Having the rotor center powder coated. Anyone have a pic of an ACR wheel with colored ( even black) hat or center that I can look at. Thought I was limited on colors but they can do just about anything.When I dropped them off I told them to do them gloss black but second guessing now. With the stock metal colored rotors it was hard to tell where the wheel ended and the rotor started at the mounting point; colored will show a definite line.

Car is sapphire. Suggestions on color?

What color are the calipers?

I dont have a picture but i painted my hubs black using the brake caliper paint. Made a huge difference and looks very nice. it doesnt stand out at all but eliminates the rust color from the stock rotors

Sapphire? or Dark Blue if they can't do the Sap.?

Calipers are red

Calipers are red

Then rotor hats to match the car color!

Otherwise, black/black on the brakes.

Black hat. If you go sapphire in a few weeks they will be black anyways.

Thanks, black it is

Sorry if I'm too late but here are a few pictures of red anodized hats on my old GTS.

it looks perfect on a red car, wouldn't be so good on a different color though

Those are really nice but I agree red on red is awesome but not on a blue car.Thanks for the pic, it gives me an idea how they will look though.

Can't really see the hat well, but it's black!

How did you prep the hats for painting?

One of the other 'might as wells" while my car is down is getting the rotors and calipers powdercoated "sapphire". We are stripping the calipers down to bare metal and polishing. We will then place a Viper "decal" ( similar to the "viper" already there) and then powdercoat over it. When finished powdercoating, we will remove the "decal" to have a polished "Viper" on a Sapphire caliper. I have eradispeed rotors and will powdercoat the "hats" sapphire with polished SS hat bolts.

"Might as well" place SS brake lines "while your there".....

one of the best mods that can be done. IMO

We do powdercoating of center hats and anything else, shipping ***** though! I'd go with Super Mirror Black for the Centers

Matte black. Don't paint the rotor hardware though.
