    Revived some dull wheels!

    Buddy of mine booked an appointment for late spring to have me correct and coat his black 2011 Silverado. He decided to drop off his summer wheels to have me coat them now while they are already off the truck. These black powder coated 22 inch wheels were beyond dull. So for this application IGL Eclipse industrial coating was chosen. When sprayed out of a HVLP gun it will self level with minimal texture and provide a thick chemical resistant, high temp coating.




    Prep- Cleaned with Mckees foaming wheel cleaner gel, Megs Iron Decon, LATA. Any tar and sticker residue was removed with Goof off professional grade. Wiped with IGL Precoat


    Application- Sprayed with 4oz mini HVLP gun at about 8 psi then left to cure overnight.

    Thanks brother! Yeah I sent him the pictures and he was stunned by the gloss. He will be picking them up next week on his day off.
