Agreed. You can't see the candy on my wheels in photos but it really stands out in person.

No, usually that is the price to just powder coat a wheel.

Mine were $170 a wheel but they were 3 stage powder

The biggest pushback for me personally, on powdercoating the Rays, is that I'm sitting here with absolutely zero suspension/wheel work. To powdercoat on a stock set up seems silly to me. However, King Sport isn't all that flashy and still looks beautiful.

I did something stupid. I had some water spots on my intake tubes from the trackspec vents. I didnt wipe them off and then next time I washed the car I used the Gyeon Wet coat which is a spray on sealant used when rinsing off the car. It coated the pipes and sealed in the water spots.

Couldnt figure out why it wasnt wiping off with all purpose cleaner or even with metal polish.

Thats the face I made when I used the metal polish on a 3" compounding pad and it didnt phase it one bit.
