    Must be the lighting, but agreed about them being awesome.

      Here are some pics of them on the car.
      Sorry for the bad lighting and location.. was on the way home from work.




      They do sort of look like primer but I just got a pic of the original wheels from MIM in italy and showed it to the powdercoater.
      Maybe someday down the track I'll get them polished instead, but for now I'm happy with them.

        Well they look great, I like the rims a lot and your car is really clean.

          craftsman makes a powder coating gun now for 140, and it doesnt require a compressor.

            Yes, but you do need an oven. And it can't be a gas oven either. The fumes from the powder coating paint are flammable. I wouldn't suggest using your home oven either. It WILL leave a smell through out your entire house.

            www.caswellplating.com also sells powdercoaters.
