Default Chrome Vs. Powdercoat Matte Black

-Might have to sticky this-

For those of you who are having a tough time making a decision to whether powdercoat your chrome wheels to black or not. Well, I can help you out with that. Here are the comparison pictures. The wheels are 20" Staggered Saleen Darkhorse.

WOW!

Those are freakin' saweeeeeet lookin'

If you would't mind, I would like you to post some details of prep, cost and such for those considering this in the future. MANY people ask about PC and don't know who does it or where to send them or cost to expect.

PS. If you don't want to post it here, please PM me and will not refer to you if questions are asked about this procedure. I will keep in on the down-low

Thanks buddy! I will provide the details of prepping, cost, and how long it took this week. Each powdercoating places are pretty similar, but in some ways are different. So I will provide the details how my guy did the work on my wheels.


Oh, I'm working on getting a good deal on the meats so I can get it on! I will keep you posted about which tires they used.

Finally got it on last night! Pictures posted at the bottom of the first post. I'm in love - always have been though.

Details about powdercoating and how they work will be done sometime this weekend or during next week.
