Hi Guest !
Welcome to the 500Eboard forum.

We invite you to browse and take advantage of the information and resources here on the site. If you find helpful information, please register for full membership, and you'll find even more resources available. Feel free to ask questions, and make liberal use of the "Search" function to find answers.

Wheels: Painting VS Powder Coating

I had a set of stock 15" w124 wheels powdercoated with a metallic powder finish that wore like iron. It was warranted through snow, salt, etc. by the applicator. After about 8 years of year-round use, the wheels still looked shiny and new and brake dust washed off relatively easily.
The finish was done by Wheel Collision Center near Allentown, PA. The finish I had is called hyper black, I believe www.wheelcollision.com They are really a class outfit and do top-notch work. I have since shipped them a few sets of wheels from Baltimore to refinish and been very happy with the work.

I can vouch for Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA as doing great work. I had them refinish a set of rare 15" "Bundt" wheels for my 450SEL 6.9 many years ago and they did a great job. Spendy as hell and shipping wasn't cheap, but the end product was remarkable. They are a vendor you can trust.
Cheers,
