It's chrome coloured power coat. Not paint. Not chrome dip.

Vinyl - Give me a week or two to get them done once I get them. Chances are it'll just take a weekend though.

Justin - Get more info if you can. I guess he means try to burn it off? I could give it a shot, just don't want to get the wheel itself too hot.

Don't most places use a acid dip for old chrome?

Maximal · 10-18-2007, 09:26 AM

They actually strip it the same way they put it on...using an electrical current. Chrome is stronger than aluminum so any acid that's going to dissolve chrome is going to dissolve the aluminum also.

Update: Wheels are off the car with stockers back on. Getting the rubber taken off this weekend. Excited to say the least. Then I'm going to gring off and spurs from curb rash and send them off to you by next weekend! PM your adress please.

Yep..but that's the "toned down" one. There is one that's on those covers that need to be cleared over and actually gives it a more metallic look. The other one is single stage and more reflective.

Terry, we spoke a while back about the metallic orange? any word on being able to find it? is there an anodized orange color available?

Maximal · 10-29-2007, 04:24 PM

It's on my list of colors to find. I'm trying out new suppliers and i'm sure it's just a matter of time before i find one that carries it.
