Dropped them off for powder coating. Take a look at this finish.

Gotta give them an answer with the color by tonight.

Option #1: BMW silver with clear on top
Option #2: Gloss smooth pearlescent steel gray - pic below

Black ?
Any other finish that goes nice with the lemans blue?

I'd go with the BMW hyper silver (option 1).

There is a 4.8 is in Lemans Blue that I often see driving and its wheels (168s) always pop and look really sharp IMO.

I'd also go with the silver on a blue car.

I'd say keep it Titan Silver with the grilles, etc

If you had window tint, black grilles, smoked LED tails, etc, I'd say the option 2 would be a good look, but as your X looks now I dont think it would flow if it was gunmetal.
