Title: Clear powdercoating new polished wheels?????
Post by: mlab dcj on April 11, 2006, 11:53:00 pm

New member here. Great site. Anyone have any thoughts\suggestions on getting a set of polished TT2's clear powder coated for easier cleaning\keeping them looking new.
84 chevy swb 18 x 8 fronts w\ 255-55-18 & 18 x 10 rears w\ 285-55-18. Would like to adjust bs to have 1\2 inch clearance   to the outer fender lip front and rear. Was thinking 5" front and 4.5 rear?? 3 " drop spindles and 4" drop leaf springs already installed. Thanks.

I don't think the powder coat would come out as clear as you'd like.Also ,once the powder coat gets scratched,there may be nothing you can do to restore it.

Its true i use to powder coat and we did many wheels with clear to try to keep them looking new. After powder coating with clear they do look just a bit duller. The rumor was that the coating would allow for easier cleaning with just a quick wash and not having to polish. I rather polish then have my "NEW" wheels look slightly duller.
