Default Question about powdercoating..

If 365.2-A virgin aluminum replica wheels were professionally powdercoated, and clear coated, what would the shine be like?

Anybody have any pics of powdercoated alum wheels on their cars?

I don't have any pics per say but the powdercoat will dull the aluminum finish a bit. It's always shinier when it's just machined or exposed and polished.

I think it might be too much black if your TA is black. I would skip them. Some chrome and aluminum gives a nice contrast and makes the vehicle look better.
