Luigi is pepper white with black roof/mirrors.. I have 17 inch black challenge wheels on him but I kind of want to add some color.. was thinking lime green, red, or gray mirror caps.. thoughts? ideas?

 

I have scene black jack mirror caps with lime green center cross

 

Gray won't add any color.

If you go with lime green or red, add some other touches of that color elsewhere to the car. Possibly a beltline "blackout" in that color, or a pinstripe somewhere, or something else. It will help tie the car together better visually.

We have a member here who did the lime green bit on a PW car. It was quite striking, but I think he may have overdone it a little. I don't know what you'd search on to find his pic, though.

 

I was thinking the hood scoop along with the mirrors.. IDK I really wish my car was gray or black so I could do the lime green lol maybe ill just keep it the way it is.

 

Watch adding more than 2 colors to a car. Especially since you have complimentary colors it might not look right. If you go lime green see if the dealership will let you hold one up to the old one and see how it would work or better so photchop and see what it could look like.

 

Yeah i was playing around on my computer and maybe adding color might not be a good idea.. Unless I was going change the wheels as well to tie it in together.. Hmph!

 

Maybe you should do orange or red. Pepper White is a creamy sort of off-white, so warm colors may work better that cool colors like green or blue. Red caps are often on white JCWs though, so if your trying to be unique, you should go with a different color.

 

Calipers or pinstripes are other places you can use to tie in the accent color. I agree with Porthos - photoshop it to see what you like best. If you haven't already, you might also browse through the Peerage of the Pepper White threads to see what the various combos look like.

Personally I think lime green is a great option but if you go that direction I think it needs to be used in more than just mirror caps; otherwise they look too "floaty" to me.

Here's a PW with green mirror caps only:

I love that! Thats kind of what I wanted to go for. I have a lime green decal on my back window that I recently added and love the combination with the PW/Black. I'm thinking if I black out the front grill (like on that clubman) the lime green mirror caps would like good and then eventually I could paint the calipers lime green as well to incorporate the color even more.

 

I was thinking of adding some color to my new Clubman as well. Maybe green or orange mirror caps ?

 

Red calipers and matching mirror caps would be pimptastic

 

I think the green would like nice on your Cooper

 

With green mirror caps, having the grill itself in green would be in an interesting accent to go along with the mirror caps...

 

Plastidip has Orange and Green Blaze colors - you could play around with those without making too much of a commitment.

 

I know this is a tricky question, but when plasidipping 17" wheels, how many cans generally per wheel for a decent coat
