[paul26982]

getting some new wheels. going to get them powder coated, in matt black, is it true that matt black doesnt stay nice for long and gloss is better thanx

matt

Don't know whether matt keeps well, but I love my LCR wheels in gloss black, been nearly a year they still clean up well.

gloss suits the wheels look good as the are loads of spokes, were mines guna be 5 spokes so matt would in my opinion, plus have a red cupra, any1 got matt etc

i know it's another LCR but yermother's red LCR has matt (or maybe satin not sure) but that looks nice.

 

[paul26982]

any pic of satin m8, is there much diferent to matt, gutted now, would it be ok to keep if you keep on top of them

 

[paul26982]

is that satin

 

[honeyman]

Whatever colour you have you'll need to keep them clean which is a pain, but worth it IMO.

some powder coaters wont do wheels as the cheaper alloy in some alloys blows the coating straight off.

 

[paul26982]

or ok cheers for the info m8 always keep on top of them anyway, like a clean car, hope they can do mine

 

[honeyman]

I'm pretty sure these are satin.

Same with cast parts - they need to go through a heat cycle in the oven first to let them gas out before you apply the powder.

somebody on here has LCR wheels powdercoated in a shadow chrome finish, i hope the coating stays on ok as i was hoping to get mine done in the same finish. it would look good on my silver LCR.
