Just taken them in today. I'll post a picture when I get them back later in the week.

Really pleased how they have turned out. They look almost chrome in bright sunlight and nearly black when it's overcast.

The wheel specialist in Kingston have just repaired a damaged 17" cascavel alloy wheel off my Caravelle, they have done a great job post kerbing damage. They resprayed the gloss black background and then refinished the diamond turned finish. They had lots of cars and alloys in there for repair and powder coating. They will keep the van inside for a few days whilst they paint all 4 wheels if you can do with out it for that long!!

hi all, has anyone seen or tried powder coating Devonports black? Thinking about it but unsure what it would look like

Think @chriscroft might be your man. He has a nice looking set, powder coated a dark anthracite or similar. Might give you an idea

Few on team grey thread i think

Yes we've done a couple of sets, and kept the centres in silver - They look really good - Ill try and find a picture

I've only powder coated mine in "Modern Anthracite" , and as Oli did, I sprayed the inner plastic "star covers" black, other than the centre "VW" which remained chrome; I think they would look great powder coated black.

Done mine in Black, then sprayed the covers

Is that the right picture? Anthracite is very dark grey, almost black. I'd call that gunmetal.

The bus is back from the garage after remap and h&r springs. Wheels still seem lost in the arches! Bigger wheels the solution?

Similar discussion going on here @Jongall .

Changed My Wheels Over And Noticed Something Weird

But have to agree. Think it's more noticeable on a LWB.
