Agreed. You can't see the candy on my wheels in photos but it really stands out in person.

No, usually that is the price to just powder coat a wheel.

Mine were $170 a wheel but they were 3 stage powder

The biggest pushback for me personally, on powdercoating the Rays, is that I'm sitting here with absolutely zero suspension/wheel work. To powdercoat on a stock set up seems silly to me. However, King Sport isn't all that flashy and still looks beautiful.

I did something stupid. I had some water spots on my intake tubes from the trackspec vents. I didnt wipe them off and then next time I washed the car I used the Gyeon Wet coat which is a spray on sealant used when rinsing off the car. It coated the pipes and sealed in the water spots. :icon17: Couldnt figure out why it wasnt wiping off with all purpose cleaner or even with metal polish. :icon17:

Thats the face I made when I used the metal polish on a 3" compounding pad and it didnt phase it one bit.

That's how we used to do it. It worked perfectly fine.
