powder coat color recommendation - Diesel Forum

2004fx4 · 11-15-2009, 02:11 PM

I bought a set of 2004 18 inch factory rims for my 2004 f350. When I got them the finish was less then what I wanted. I tried to restore them but it is beyond me. The wheel restoration place wants 280 a wheel and the powder coater wants 100 a wheel, so it looks like I am going powder coat. The problem is I do not know what color. Does anyone have a recommendation on color or has pictures of powder coated wheel on a superduty? Any help would be great.

Looks like you have same color truck as me.I've seen in my town same truck w/ black colored wheels, looked pretty good on the grey/black color of the truck.

Are they gloss or flat black? I was thinking of this, but I did not think it would look right with the chrome.

I have used a 90% gloss black in the past and have been very happy. I just did some beadlocks for my SCORE class 3 bronco with a gloss black chrome (looks greyish/silver) powdercoat and a gloss red ring. I'll try to get some pics before I head down to the Baja.

I would love to see that. I sound like what I was thinking of. Is that the colors exact name?
