BBS RC Aerocoat Powder coat *Now with updated pics*
« on: 07 February 2010, 11:40 »
Following limmys thread about a year ago i decided to finally get mine powder coated in Aerocoats Aeromax finish.

I purchased my RC's already painted in Gun Metal Gray. But a year on the and the paint has started chipping and i didn't want them to get too bad.

Ive always wanted the original burnished finish and loved limmys when i saw them.

The Aerocoat process - wheels are chemical stripped, shot blasted, sanded, zinc powder coated, primed, sanded, aeromaxed + powdercoat lacquered.

Very unique powder coat process  :cool:


Heres the gun metal gray on my car:






Mine will be back in the Aeromax finsh on tuesday pics to follow soon  :cool:

(Im also not fitting them for a while until the roads are in better condition  :laugh: )


Few pics  :cool:





Pics really don't do them Justice - will take some more in daylight at some point

I had mine done at the wheel specialists, burton on trent. They turned out nice, just something else for you to consider perhaps.
