Possible to powdercoat the GM Optional Wheels?

[mdc]

So I saw this thread ( http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums...tional-gm.html ) and I love the look of these wheels ... I don't love the look of too much chrome though

It appears that the wheels are chromed and I would love to get a set and powdercoat them a nice semi gloss black to match the raven black of my V.

Is it possible to powdercoat over chrome?
Is the adhesion over the chrome going to be an issue?

I called two different powdercoaters in the city and one said that he doesn't think there would be a problem and the other said there is no telling how long the coat would stick because chrome doesn't allow the powder to properly stick.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I love the wheels (and the price is right), but I dislike the "bling"

I'm pretty sure they are just polished Aluminum, not chrome

[mdc]

hmmm ... that's possible I guess ...

I figured they were chromed because of the pics in that thread ... they look really shiny

Definitely not chrome...

They're polished... And I would think they could be powder coated without a problem...

thanks James!

Do you sell the black center caps?

[Kadonny]

^^^ I am sure they do.

Those would look great with a black powdercoat.

Even if they were chrome, I would think they could easily strip the chrome before powder coating. Or at least sand blasted the damned thing.

Yes we sell the black center caps they are part number 9595791 and they are $33.75 each...

Very possible to powder coat the stock wheels.
