Default Pics of wheels I just powder coated

18", I believe from a GTI (customer has them on his Jetta)

stripped bare, blasted. zinc free primer powder, then color(called speedway black), then glass clear powder on top.

I know I don't get alot of inquiries for wheels on here other than locals, but thought i'd remind everyone I can indeed do nice work on wheels along with the other stuff i do

Nice work. I'm actually a fan of those wheels on VW GTIs too.

I will PM you now.

Thanks for the kind words everyone Euro rims can be a pain, not uncommon to have 4 coats of stuff to remove. They do something kinda odd. These rims had a base powdercoat, then liquid primer, liquid color, and liquid clear. needless to say getting them prepped was difficult lol.

Joeformula--3 diferenent powder manufacturers on these rims actually between the primer, color, and clear. I have various preferences for types of powders and combine manufacturers regularly to get the look the customer wants. Only thing I check before I do any job is that I'm not combining certain makeups that don't like eachother(TGIC and acrylic for example).
