I decided I'm going to repaint my homemade rack. When I originally painted it last year, it was windy with a big storm moving in, so there's quite a bit of overspray and fingerprints since I had to move it before it was totally dry.
Here's what I'm considering, but feel free to click on the color chart pages and make suggestions.
Sail Blue. I painted a squat stool and some accessories with this color. I like it. It only comes in standard sized cans though.
Color page - http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-...e-enamel-spray
High performance gloss black, semi-gloss black, flat black, or gloss white. Comes in the bigger cans.

Hammered bronze or black. I originally painted the rack in hammered black. IMO these hammered finishes are best for plates because they don't have a high gloss. Come in standard sized cans.

Gloss black but the hammered black would look cool as well. Metallic black would also look good. I am not a fan of flat/matte black that our younger generation seems to prefer.

I kind of like the hammered finish, but if I had 2 cans of gloss black sitting around already, I might just cheap out and go with that. Maybe you paint some accessories with the blue to make it pop.

It's hammertone time!
You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

Of the colors you posted I would do the Hammertone Black...If it were me it would be TENNESSEE ORANGE!!!
I believe one member here ordered a Legend Rack that had the Silver Vein paint that resembles the Rustoleum Hammertone and it looked awesome.[II]---[II] Equipment Crew #49 [II]---[II]

Hammered bronze could look sweet alongside those vanko plates. Otherwise, I don't think you could ever go wrong with black.

I think you should "real flame" like they do on motorcycles. That would be sweet on a power rack.
As for the original request, I'm for flat black or gray. Blue is scientifically proven to reduce aggression, do you really want that in your gym?

I also like matte black plates... but satin black for York plates. I don't like the rattle can hammertone paints. The powder coat hammertone paints are nice though.Originally Posted by owasM

For the rack, I think I'd go with gloss black or blue.

Yeah not so much.....Originally Posted by KJ4GR
Skid...you could do a two tone rack. Use black hammertone or matte as a base for the uprights and do the crossmembers, safeties, and j-hooks in the blue to bring it together with your other pieces.[II]---[II] Equipment Crew #49 [II]---[II]

Painters touch satin black looks nice...but I'm a little partial to orange.

I like combos like my Parabody - white and black. If I ever redo it, I will probably do white and red.Originally Posted by Skidmarx
