POWDER COATING

i agree, they are horrid now. but i dropped them off this am so we will see what thursday brings. i doubt they are going to hand sand. but they use a 50hp industrial blaster so that outta do it. have you done parts that look as beat up as these?

the flat black they had in stock was good enough for me. it's a landy and a truck, it's usually dirty and since i'm not doing the wheels in period correct limestone, black is black.

but, yeah anything would be better than what i left them with... i even gave them my gas cap to coat cause the P-PO had it done in a nice, orange peeled, primer gray.

so here's the 10-degree matte black before they put them in the oven tomorrow. i have to say that the nasty old paint and rust cleaned off nicely from the blasting.

i'll pick them up saturday morning.

Have we done parts that look that bad? - Yes. Sandblasting is great at cleaning parts, but the degree to which the rust has eaten the metal can be tough. Powdercoat can "hide" many imperfections, but probably not on those wheels, they were pretty rough.

I like flat black / gloss black wheels on just about everything! And if you ever get "crazy" and decide you actually want to wash them once they get dirty, a little windex will have them looking like new...

done. i think they came out damn good considering their previous condition.

They did a good job, I have access to a small shop where I got mine S3 wheels done - came out the same as this. Also did my Mach V wheels for the defender... both jobs cost me a box of beer however
