ERA mounted the tires and masked them, then Teddy painted the wheels with a two-stage satin/semi-gloss black. I am very happy with the results. I would recommend this route over powdercoating: much broader finish and color selection, easier to "fix" or change the color, and paint appears to provide a thinner, smoother coat. The paint may scar easier than powdercoating, but should be easier to repair.
Thank you for the very nice compliment. As I said earlier, everything has turned out looking (and sounding!) as good or better than I hoped. I also think I'll feel the same about the driving! |
