Clear powder coat for polished wheels...
How about clear powder coat for my new centerlines rather than paint
based clearcoat.
I spoke to a shop today that says they do them all the time, much more
durable than paint based finish, he said you will loose a small bit of the shine
but this is probably ok. My eagles are alot of work to keep clean let alone shiny and I figured if I get the new centerlines done before they go on the truck or have wheels mounted I will be ahead of the game.
Anyone done this or seen the finished product

No help from me, yet. I'm looking for the same info. The place that may do my hood has heard of a product. Supposedly he'll have given it a shot by the time I get in there for paint/repairs. I'll keep everyone posted if so.

Let me know what you find, I did some research on google and it seems to be pretty
common to do. i'm probably going to do it, rims should be this week, tires arrived yesterday

Sorry guys, I really don't know what brand of powdercoating they use, but here is their complete information if you want to give them a buzz, they're really nice guys. Just ask for Kelly (he's a guy) and tell him Chris with the Billet Specialties wheels sent you (maybe he'll hook me up on my next set lol):
