Default Pics wheels powder coated, paint corrected, ceramic coated and Xpel






Hi All. Just got my car back. Thanks to everyone for your input on a number of things.

The car came with silver rims which didn’t look great against the GT paint. After a lot of thinking I had them coated graphite satin and then ceramic coated.

The car was paint corrected and Xpel was added to the front end and extended rocker panels. Then the entire car was ceramic coated.

I am am thrilled with the outcome. The workk was done by Shine Auto Salon in the burbs North of Atlanta. I was blown away by them. Top notch.

Here are some pics.

Gorgeous car! You didn't happen to buy that from Perimeter did you?

The wheels really make a difference! Completely changes the way the car looks, the silver/GT Silver was a little too much silver IMO.

Its a typo. He means ceramic coated or paint corrected. Definitely not powder coating a car

Car looks 100x better with the wheels. Nice job Love the color choice.

When you have a chance, maybe the shop can give you the specific brand and color code for the powder. Could help some other guys.

Looks awesome. I’m typically a silver wheel kinda guy but the graphite satin is superb especially with GT silver.

Reflection clarity of the yellow lift arm in photo #2 says it all.....

Nice!

Great job. The car looks much better. Your typing is a little hard to decipher.
