Grey / Gunmetal Powder Coat 351M Wheels 535d M Sport

I had my wheels powder coated Prismatic Kingsport Grey. Totally changed the look of the car. The color goes great with the M-Sport rear bumper.

Thanks for your post! I've been considering powder coating my 351s. My ideal finish would be a black chrome (not powder coat), but it is problematic for several reasons, so I've been considering gloss black. My car is dark graphite metallic and I would prefer a dark gunmetal glossy finish, but the shop I plan to use doesn't have this finish as an option. I'll check back with them with the color code and see if they can do it. If not, could you tell me where you had yours done? Thanks again!

I had them powder coated at Porter Powder Coating in Anaheim.
www.porterpowder.com

They did a great job, chemical stripped, cleaned, powder coated Kingsport Grey, powder coated gloss clear.
