Blasting them down to the bare metal gives us a fresh canvas to provide a unique coating for that custom look.

Here we have the stages from how we received them to the finished product.  This is a 3 piece wheel that we did the Lip and Barrel in a Gloss Black and the centers in Matte Black.  Great looking wheel for this customer’s ride.

Here are the wheels as we received them, ready for a new look for sure.

Check out what Brian started with and what it turned into now.  Thanks for letting us be a part of the project.

The headers as they looked when the customer dropped them off. Solid headers but 40+ years of use have hurt them aesthetics wise.

These headers didn't offer the incredible transformation as other items after media blasting them but still gave us a fresh surface to apply the coating to.

Here we have a set of Harley Davidson Sportster wheels.  As you can see from the first picture they have seen better days.  Years of use and the environment have put them in a sad state of appearance.  But IPG Coating can bring them back to as good as new with our coating capabilities.  This customer didn’t want to be too flashy but still restore the wheel to have a great look.  We chose the AIO Chrome for this project and as you can see the results are just amazing.

The wheels as they looked when they arrived to the shop. Years of use can make these great looking wheels look poorly.
