dieselarmy13 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Just wondering what everybody has done to color match their center caps after they have their wheels powdercoated. Not real knowledgeable on the whole powder coating thing. I just assume everybody just has them painted to match. I feel dumb asking this for some reason.

That is just what i have seen We're talking about powder coating the wheels, and the center caps I think are plastic so I doubt they would be able to handle the heat.. Probably having to paint them instead of powder coat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f1ss Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 This has been discussed alot, either run them the stock color, spray paint them like stated and repeat every few months, or just run without them (imo that looks best). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12'SROCK Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 you guys can buy the center caps from the OEM chrome SSS wheels and those you can take appart to PC them with the wheels....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afsp1211 Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 So the stock SSS chrome center caps already have a copper coat for the chrome to stick to, I'm guessing? Makes sense. I'm just wondering if the sandblasting would strip the copper as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
