Powder Coating

[Mclaren72]

I'm going to be powder coating my anthracite wheels black but i wanted to do them in a satin black like the speedlines, however this will mean it wont have a clear coat...?

Do the black speedlines have a clear coat on?

If theres no clear coat after powder coating my wheels they're gonna scratch easily etc aren't they?

They have a satin clear coat mate they dont just leave bare paint

Ahh ok makes sense! Cheers woody.

If im taking it to a wheel place to have them powder coated they should be able to have a satin type clear coat, I think i prefer it to a gloss finish

tbh a satin or non metallic finish doesn't need a clear coat, the point of laquer is to make a metallic or pearlescent coat (basecoat) shiny, which you obviously don't want on a satin finish.

It'll be a satin clear coat, or possibly a mixture of basecoat and satin clear in powder coat form. Dont worry, a satin powdercoat will be very durable

Sweet nice one guys.

Ill ring the guy tomorrow and see if he can give it a satin clear coat for extra protection.

You dont need it, if the finish is satin black powder coat, it will be more durable than the paint finish anyway
