826 M Powder Coated

40 Thieves · 04-12-2022, 02:14 PM

Got some curb rash so decided to have a little fun with the wheels. Also got them ceramic coated, which seemed to really help with the ease of cleaning during the first wash. Honestly, I liked the black better but this gold is really growing on me.

The gold looks beautiful on a black car, imo. Just out of curiosity, did your powdercoating company complain how difficult those rims with their intricate pattern would be to work on? I'm tempted to do the same, but don't want someone making excuses if they turn out badly. Thanks.

They didn't have any trouble with them at all. Here is a picture of the wheels after powder coating.

Get yourself a big wing. Would suit it!

Needs the chicken on the hood, bandit.

In all honesty it looks absolutely awesome. I love it.

NKGK20 · 04-12-2022, 07:32 PM

Do it! This is Bronze chrome with satin finish.

335xs2dinan · 04-12-2022, 07:32 PM

That's a home run

nathanm4 · 04-14-2022, 09:15 AM

Thanks in advance.

Thanks bro

Limegrntaln · 04-14-2022, 11:15 AM

Yeah, the Bronze Chrome is my fav. It's a little more subtle. The gold is a little shouty for me. But, hey, it pulls the chicks at Target.

nearwater4me · 04-14-2022, 03:34 PM

Love the way the gold brings out the 826M's design details.
Very nice.

Art__Vandelay · 04-14-2022, 04:09 PM

The design is too beautiful to get lost in black color.

MMM.PWR · 04-15-2022, 08:37 PM

Looks great. Debating getting my 826M bicolor powder coated as well - just not sure what color will go with IOMG. Bronze would be nice for sure but it's a very popular combination.

voyagergab · 04-21-2022, 10:01 PM

Those gold rims look great with the black car. Great choice

jct_m3 · 04-21-2022, 10:16 PM

this is awesome - i wanna do this for my incoming British racing green

Isle of Man Green with Bronze rims.

I love the color scheme but I think they came out darker than I wanted.

Think I will redo them for brighter and shinier color.

Wow!

Looks amazing! I wouldn't change them a bit, but that's just me.
