Once again blackening the chrome wheel question

[4churchill]

They cazn powder coat your wheel with black pearl or "black chrome". We have done that on several cars on the lot, and it looks sick

I just spoke with my dealer today who had a company make some stock chrome rims he had "black chrome". He said they made the center cap, which is plastic, match. So I'm going to call them tomorrow and see if they can do my grill and side mirrors.

I thought powder coated looked much less shiny and did not look like chromed at all. That one sure is shiny and reminds me of a dark chrome.

It can be done on already chromed but, get the most recent info from Dragon. WE can do blue, red, black, and many others colors of chrome.

I go to the shop at least 1 to 2 times a week but, Dragon runs everything just like in My other companies I find partners who have the knowledge and turn it over to them. I spend more time with Dragon as I have more fun there. I would go every day if i could but, try hard to twice. Other wise We are on the phone or email many times a day. He is learning more about Hummers everyday as the service manager is really into what We are dong with My rig so Dragon and He talk allot. If We do not have it figured out which We ususally do We just call and He teachs us. It blows His mind when We call and tell Him something that We found We could do that He has no info on. We keep all the tech software on several computers for all the guys to have access to.

Got any pics? I've seen some other vehicles with black chrome wheels, and they look very nice. Been considering it myself...

Once again, would like someone that knows more about this tell me if it is a good idea to blacken a chrome wheel. I'm looking to get that black chrome look rather that a powder coated look. Is this possible? How is it done? And, is it expensive or is difficult to find somebody that does this well?

Thanks for the help!

Powder coating is pretty much like paint, not chrome. Unless they are adding a peal or something...

Was that done on top of the chrome? So that the wheel used to be plain chrome before blackening?

do you have to do whole wheel? or could you just do the center, or maybe leave the lip regular chrome and rest black??? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, I quess you can just leave the center untouched...
