Default Re: 68 z28 ralley wheels powder coat or paint gun

Foster - personally i like the powder coat approach - but you still need to paint the silver on the front after the black to get the blow-thru of the silver onto the black to have a correct look - that is if your going for the right process/look. However, with powder coating, the parts need to worked to remove imperfection, pits etc.

With paint, you can fill the pits, sand and do the paint process as stated above.

Depends on what your after.

As far as the correct powdercoat silver.....someone here will have to weigh in - there are numberous brands of powdercoat and each brand has its own shade - and you need to depend on the powdercoater to get the right gloss as well.

IMO - painting you can manage the process and quality of the outcome better.
