Wil,

I'm going to try a blasted metal surface on the steel wheels that I sell, then use black and clear powder on them (frosted rim with matte black centers).

The clear power on a blasted surface was tried on one of my customer's fan with good result. I want to try the two epoxy combo to see if the process is economically feasible. If it turns out well on the steel wheels, I will test with a Fuch rim. I know the steel blasted surface will not be exactly like a blasted alloy surface, but itll be close.

I believe it may be economical as the most time consuming part of refinishing the wheels is he polishing. I'm working on a process to make that cheaper, but right now, that's more than 1/2 my cost per wheel.
