E8 rebuild suggestions on basket color? / recone build log

[on1wheel01 10+ year member]

Well I just tore down my e8(broken lead wire). And I figured I'd do something different than the standard black basket. So I am trying to decide what color to powder coat it. I just finished up doing a re mt 18 with a green basket. Thoughts of colors(ones I have in stock) fire red slime lime green white. I'm thinking maybe white, but can't decide. Suggestions?

Powder coating not painting. And why not. I do it myself. It's free. Would look better.

Yea i was leaning towards white. May be a type of paint but I hate when i hear ppl ask me how much to paint my part....

Well got bored today and shot it white. Turned out great I think. Would look even better with a white cone or something. I just threw a old recone in (one with broken leads) for pictures. I wish u could reuse old coils especially since they r still good just broken leads
