NISMO wheel paint flaws - anyone else?

sboden

I'm having mine redone by Alloy Wheel Repair. He explained how they do the finish. The use a dark base coat and then do a light hyper silver coating over the base coat. They then put on the clear coat. After the clear coat is on, they very lightly spray the hyper silver paint over the clear coat. It is not the easiest process and because of the light spray on the clear coat finishes can vary. He found areas on my stock nismos which were lighter than other areas because of this process. On the other hand this process does make them stand out.
