Question on wheels coating (machine silver)

Zbrah · 05-28-2016, 02:49 AM

Thinking of changing my current wheels from flat black to machine silver, anyone know the process to achieve this? I'm looking for a good shop in SoCal to do this but would like to get an idea how it is done so I know what to expect. How much am I looking at here? I can simply get the wheels powder coated to silver for a couple hundreds but I prefer the clean look of machine/polished over silver. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Hey brah
To accomplish the machine look u have to powdercoat the wheeks first and then they are machined over the fresh paint so yea is more expensive because of the extra labor included but yea unique
Go all or nothing

Thanks for the reply bro. How expensive are we talking? Id like to know more details about the process. And most importantly do you know a shop around here that does quality work?

No. I only wanted the same coating on my other set of wheels.
