Is it possible to powder coat silver rims to gun metal? Ive seen white and black but never gunmetal. Is it possible? Thanks

i don't see why not. i've seen people with red and purple and all kinds of crazy crap. most of the rims that come in gunmetal probably are just powdercoated.

if they can do red, purple, and all sorts of other colors, they should be able to do gunmetal.

silver to gunmetal: yes. We painted 8 stock gsr rims and 2 silver konig rims to gunmetal at my friends shop, we buffed it a lil to make it smoother. Looks nice, but I wouldnt do it on my car.

yes you can powercoat them just about any color, as for me i am going to Anodize my 19" RH C2s black...that way they are black but have a bright machined finish to them
