Rick, I second the red option for track wheels. Kinda like the old/new white RS. Here's a great option for the DD set in gunmetal. Scroll down to the comments. A quasi E39 M5 finish on a white C2S: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...ier-white.html

Paul, you are really torturing me, knowing what you paid for that car......

Back on topic, what is the process (how much $$$) to getting MY02's painted/power coated in a color like graphite?

I'm going to use the DIY refinishing techniques on here, and just sub graphite for silver paint.

I had mine painted for $400. I would suggest finding a powder-coating specialist for yours, as I think powder coating is more durable than paint?

yes and it is around the same cost. Just make sure the shop that does it uses a chemical stripper to clean the wheels and not a media blaster.
The alloy is too soft for most media blasting... stripping is safer.
Powder coating is really just a baked on paint.
It goes on dry (hence the word "powder") and does not need a solvent binder as normal paints would.

It is then baked in an oven. Provides a more durable finish.
Cool stuff.
