Powder Coat Stock Wheels?

[5.0 Ford Guy]

I am trimming my car in black. I really like the look. Here is what it looked like when I got it.


I have since blacked out the hood vents and the tail lights...



I am thinking of having the wheels powder coated black. I plan to buy some black 7 spoke Saleens for it, but I kinda like this look...


This was my original Photoshop to see if I wanted to go this route or not. Anyone ever powder coated their wheels? I think I want to do this just to have a second set for whatever reason. Call me crazy, but I really like these stock wheels.

plastidip them. that way you can always peal it off

I was going to say the same thing. Cheaper than powder coating and you can revert to stock finish if you dont want it anymore. Plastidip is a pretty impressive product.

I have used that stuff before to paint the trim on my Fox. It is amazing stuff. I am wanting a glossy finish though. I just don't think the dull finish will look right.

they are supposed to have a gloss out now or sometime soon from what i can remember reading.

Oh cool. I will definitely look into that.

They have a new line of true metallics that you can gloss over. Looks just like an OEM finish. Really cool stuff!

Too much black in my opinion.

Not a fan of the "black wheel" trend. It just looks like someone hasn't cleaned the brake dust off their wheels in a while.

It depends on vehicle in my opinion and the color of the vehicle. Certain colors just look good with a flat black or matte finish on the wheels. Others look absolutely terrible.

I have less black that you

I bet he was talking about black accessories.

 

[5.0 Ford Guy]

I know what he was saying

It's just.... his car is black. His interior was a different color, and he changed every piece to black. And I'm just giving him chit I wish my car was all black. Then I would do chrome wheels.

 

[88stang88]

I love black and chrome...always finds my sweet spot.

Yeah, or looks like old school days when they would just remove the hubcaps. Or at a glance it looks like just a huge solid tire with no wheel at all if that makes any since

It's more a Nascar look to me.
