Re: Magnesium corvette wheels

Are they refinished in the factory color?

I think 20 or 30 years from now these are going to be huge money. Look at the knock offs for midyears.

No, they were powder coated black, the original coating is underneath!

if they are powder coated- there is no coating underneath. Ive never had a set of vette mag wheels in our powder coat shop but if they are anything like most factory wheels there is either an epoxy paint coating on them or just clear coat from the factory- it gets stripped then blasted off, then powder coated- the part needs to be bare metal for the coating process to work

That's why it's coming off!
