Ok so I've always had a hard time matching powder to paint :emotions122: and I thought of something that in theory would work..

What if I had something to painted to match my car and then had it powder coated with a layer of clear powder? Would that work?

Powder is more durable and every time I see someone with painted wheels chips accompany them.
This thread is about my nerf bars.
I wasn't so worried about the wheels matching because of the gap between wheels and body but the nerf bar is so close it needs to be perfect match!
Plus I'm about to upgrade to 26" kmc slides painted or powder coated white!

Damn, I have to say never seen them in white and looks pretty sick and a lot bigger then in black. You ready to buy mine :)

Also powder coating they can come pretty close to matching exact colors. I had my old 24" KMC Slices powder coated and they looked great.

I like the Slides in white, but your Broadies better still ;)

To me what you have now looks kinda more like SS factory type set up, which I like better.

Though the Slides is still one of the best looking aftermarket wheels produced.

Yea but I'm worried about how the brodies will look at the 26" level plus the way they are designed collects brake dust like Crazy!
