hey guys i am going to powder coat a set of 17" wheels for my truck. i have 20" stock rims on it now. i cannot decide on a black semi gloss or a black gloss. i am leaning towards the gloss what do you think. it will be eastwood powder. thanks mike

 

i guess it would depend on the color of the truck....

 

yeah, depends on the color. If its black then i think gloss is ok, other colors I like matte. Depends on what your trim accessories are too and other stuff you've done. Post up a pic or two.

 

Paint one gloss and one matte to see what you like better. Then just paint over the other one

 

Is there a big difference between black semi gloss and black gloss?

EDIT: Don't worry i found it.

 

sorry for the late response. my truck is light blue slt with crome trim. i will post up a pic. i am going to powder coat them, so i may by a small sample of both before i choose the color just not sure if it is ok to powder one and then do a second coat? i will have to look into that. i agree the gloss looks nice on black trucks. i was also thinking of satin black. it is between semi and matte. i like matte but not sure how it would look on my truck.

 

trying to get that pic up

 

 

Any luck with the picture? Maybe try photobucket then use the direct link.

Also, you could powdercoat a piece of scrap and hold it up to your truck for a comparison if you don't want to have to potentially recoat if you don't like it.
