I just had a set of wheels sandblasted and clear satin powder coated, hoping for a dull/frosted aluminum finish. The clear powder coat has a definite beige or tan tint to it. It looks a lot like the default border color for a lot of Windows applications. In other words, not even close to a natural aluminum color. Is this a process limitation in powder coating, or should it be possible to provide a truly clear finish? These really look like crap, by the way.
