Composition and paint of M3 18" OEM 260M Rim
Why can't i find any specs on this rim!!!
I want to re-paint and finish a small scuff on the 260M OEM 18" rim. Does anybody know the paint code, is it clear coated, or powder coated? Thx! |

I just had set of wheels completely stripped and refinished. The way they do it, is prime the wheels by powder coat, paint the wheels with a PPG paint, and the clear the wheels with powder coat. This allows a bigger selection of colors. I am not sure if this is what BMW does or not. I am sure it is powder coat in some way as it is stronger. I am also sure there is a clear over the machined areas to keep it from wearing.
