Arrow Powder-Coating Wheels

My Aunt has a 30th T/A and i love her blue chrome wheels

I have the premium wheels on my camaro but in chrome of course. have any of you tried powder-coating, and is it worth it?

I believe those are anodized blue, not powdercoated. Is that correct?

What exactly is your question? Just about powdercoating in general, or whether or not you can powdercoat in "blue chrome"?

Not sure on the exact cost. You would have to call them. I only paid for shipping on my wheels, cause i had some special arrangements, but they did an excelent job, and they might do the wheels for less!?

Nope, believe it or not you guys are all wrong.

It's blue tinted clearcoat on top of polished 5 spoke 17" aluminum wheels. They're not anodized or powdercoated.

There's even blue tinted clear overspray on my factory wheel studs where they were sprayed.

Really? Everywhere i heard that they were anodized blue.

But I guess since you got one you should know, thats pretty neat.

How hard is it to make some clear coat pain with a blue tint?
