Painting / refinishing wheels black question

[Shak]

Hey guys,

I bought a set of bbs ch wheels on AZ and the seller (dr duct) offered to refinish them in any color I'd want. I'm trying to get a flat black look, but it seems like powder coating is the best way to achieve a very consistent and weather resistant finish.

Is there anyway way I can get this flat black metal look with just paint:


Satin black looked pretty decent in pictures but it was way too soft IRL and looked like it needed to be baked.

Here's a phone shot of how the wheel looks satin black:


Thanks!

Go for a semi gloss black powder coat finish.

BBQ grill paint is what I am going to use! Done it before and it lasted and looked good!

Aren't those CHs? you want similar to stock for hte BE color?

wish my car was not blue... black ch's look hoTTTT

[Shak]

Yes, exactly!

I want a look very similar to the BBS CH BE. I've got them back now, and they are looking like this:



I'm thinking of wet sanding them to make it less shiny -- what do you think?

[Ewok_Fetus]

You don't wet sand them to make them less shiney... Use a satin/flat/matte clear coat...

Some sort of satin clear coat would do the job. Sanding is just going to remove the paint.
