Painting/Powdercoating stock 97 rims
I'm not a fan of the stock 17" 97 rims on a darker colored car (nor many of the other XK8 rims in fact) but just picked up a set for nearly the price of scrap that I'm thinking of refinishing in a darker charcoal gray shade or maybe even black. Just curious if anyone else has done their a different color and if so got a pic?

Perhaps a good place to ask a question about powder coating and aluminum wheels . . . .
I have heard that the 350 - 400 degree F. required to cure the powder is detrimental to the aluminum to the the point that it is advised against. Anyone have information rather than opinions? |
Don't know about powdercoating, but check out phil's thread. He had his rims painted Dorchester gray.

link to the pics. I like 'em as I think they're understated and encourage you to look at the car rather than the wheels.

I painted my impellers Dorchester grey to match trim. Looked awesome. Now selling. |
