Ste L recently gave me his Corsa C SRi wheels to be powder coated in anthracite so heres the process.
How i got them


I struggled to get the orange powder coating off so i had to send them to be acid dipped then i gave them another quick blast


then to the coating!

i think they came out brilliantly as there was a couple of bits of damage on them which has mostly been covered
