Default Powder coating Volks updated

Ok as some of you know I powder coated my volks blue a while back. It was either love it or hate it. I was ok with it but it didnt wow me. So I redid them. Pyramid Powder Coating in Sun Valley did them. They did a kick *** job and for a great price too.

very very nice. Car looks great. I'm wondering, when you get your wheels powdercoated do they appear to have a clearcoat like appearance afterwards? It seems like your volks came out really good. I was thinking of getting some wheels soon and getting them powdercoated black....but I want that glossy clearcoat black. Also do you know if they are able to repolish lips at that place? Thanks.

Ive seen some powder coating that came out a bit dull, but I was lucky that the place I took it to did a godd job on them and came out glossy as I hoped. They dont do polishing, the place I took it to does powder coating all day and that is only what they do, they dont do just wheels but just about anything else

Wheels look great.
Who made the front lip? Is it made out of the same flexible material as the bumpers?

The lip is made by Veilside and it is made out of fiberblass. There is also a urathane version of it.

Sweet ride, I wanted to go black also on my ss, but I only got 7900 miles from my front tires due to feathering so I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

The wheels look great!! I just put some diamond black GT-7's on my Z we have similar looking wheels.

I still laugh over the comment you made when you first got your wheels done in blue........"It looks like I ran over a freakin' smurf with my wheel!"........or something like that.

They did an excellent job on your wheels.......nice powder coating work indeed.
