[TR] Poweder Coat Steel Wheels

[P Caffrey]

I had my TR4A wheels powered.  The silver color had a hint of blue.  The
wheels 
look nice, but the blue hue is apparent.  Anyone else have this
result?  I heard 
that Corvette silver is the closest one can get to original.

Did that, looks great, no rust coming at all.
If paying a service, be very
certain they do all sides, not just the outsides.
Sandblasted unpainted
insides turn nasty brown after a year or two and you
have to do a lot of
handwork to fix it up. Ask me how I know...

Any viewpoints on powdercoating stock steel wheels?  Good or bad idea?
Thanks
