Powder coating OEM 20 inch black

gregf10m5 · 02-03-2015, 04:18 PM

Considering powder coating my 0EM 343's black. Silverstone exterior should I go with gloss black or more of a satin? Anyone have photos they'd like to share?

no gloss

I did it in gloss. I think it looks good. If I could do it again... I'd do the same thing.

For some reason I can't get my iPad to upload multiple pics... Here is one where I think you get a good feel for what the "gloss" looks like:

Both cars look great, thanks for posting.

Bought mine from BMW with the matte black finish on them..

Anyone ever seen the competition non forged wheels powder coated? I have Singapore grey so the competition rims look particularly good given dark grey accents to rims in stock form but curious if anyone has gone darker on the face?

Go for it! I love the look. So much better IMO

gregf10m5 · 02-06-2015, 11:09 PM

I had them done yesterday. Looks awesome! It's finally raining here in n. CA and I will take some pics next week to share.

Where did you get it done? It's on my to do list. My personal preference is gloss. If you had asked me 5 years ago though I would have said matte no question.

alvinabed · 02-08-2015, 05:45 AM

look almost similar.. if you don't clean your car, the gloss one will look satin due to break dust.. =)
