Accurate Grey Titan 7’s on BSM F80

Hello all, I just got my wheels back from being powder coated and thought I’d share a few pics. They are Titan 7 TS-5’s and I had them redone in prismatic powders accurate grey with a coat of clear coat. I’m pretty happy with how they turned out, it’s a bit different than the typical gunmetal or silver I was originally going to go with. Anyway on to the pics:

Hockey Night In Canada 3? (Just a rando guess...)

Did you happen to weigh them before and after? Curious as to how much the powdercoating added to the weight (I can't imagine it would be a lot, but still curious...)?

Thanks for sharing. Looks great 👍🏻

Not sure if it’s the lighting, but this prismatic powder grey looks pretty close to the standard satin titanium finish that the TS-5s come with, just that yours has a clear coat? Maybe a tad darker shade of grey. Edit: looking again, this has a hue of blue as well.

I’ve thought about the TS-5s for quite a while, and had actually contemplated going the other way for my BSM i.e. a tad more silver, but also with a clear coat.

I did not get a chance to weigh them but I would imagine the difference would be negligible because they previously were powder coated in the standard satin black that Titan sells them with.

I appreciate it! Yeah it might be the lightning but it is a little darker with a blue tone to it and no metallic flake at all. I would definitely recommend the clear coat, it makes a big difference and I feel it’s easier to clean than a satin finish.

Good point - I missed the metallic flakes! So tempting to get a set myself, but I’ve held out for this long… I can continue holding out 😆

Enjoy!
