Here's the actual example, fresh from the oven with a coat of gloss black powder coat. These wheels are currently at a pinstripe shop getting painted with high temp paint before the clear powder coat goes on. I was going to wait to post, but since you asked, here's the reults:
The wheel caps and badges are getting a little paint treatment too, but I'll wait to post until I get it all done.
PS. I shot a sample aluminum plate with regular pinstripe paint and with high-temp paint. the regular pinstrip paint gives much bolder colors because it has a lot more pigment than normal paint, but it discolored in the powdercoat oven and became quite a bit darker. The high temp paint stayed the same color.
PPS. Wanna throw me a rep point for the pics? I think this is a first. :-)
