I am going to be reinstalling these hopefully this weekend. This served 2 purposes, one because they had a little bit of surface rust on them, and figured powder coating would last longer then spray paint. Secondly to see how this color combination would come out, since this is what I want to try on my rims when I put the new tires on in a couple of months. This is 2 coats of gloss lack, with 2 coats of a blue tinted clear-coat with blue metallic flake over that. In the shae it looks black, in the light or in sun you can actually see the blue tint a little, and the blue metal flake really pops. Pictures do not do this justice. I can not wait for my rims to be done. Currently he has a few other pieces he is doing for me, (my new trailer hitch, metal bar over the battery, and a brush guard) First one shows it in shadow looking black, second one was indirect sunlight just to show the metal flake.

I was thinking of powdercoating my skid plates then I realized how annoyed I would get if I scuffed it up hitting something or the inherent damage I may get when I go offroading in mine which I plan hopefully in a couple of months.

Since they had surface rust anyways, I figured for 20.00 it was worth it. Also gave me something to try the color on B4 having my rims done. For me even if they get a bit messed up with off-roading a little, or from all the salt this winter, they will last longer than untreated. And will probably outlast the rest of the vehicle now LOL
