Brand New Wheel Coating

[Klasse Act]

Can you get a paint that matched the front Brembos or did you do this already?

No, my calipers are the stock grey color.

I'm sure I could have some paint made up but I'm not confident in doing it myself.

It's a pores finish on the caliper and based on your attention to detail, I'm sure you'll do a GREAT job...GO FOR IT

These wheels have a matte finish so polishing would not be desirable. I know the coating will add some gloss but I'm fine with that.

The coating may not add any noticeable gloss at all. I coated a set of satin gray OZ wheels on my last car and there was no difference in appearance after applying the coating.

Gtechniq C5 wheel Armor isn’t suppose to add gloss to matte wheels.

A coating won't add gloss. It will richen the color. I don't know which coating you are planning to use but CarPro DLUX, Gyeon Rim, 22ple VM1 and Gyeon Rim have all worked on matte/satin finishes. I would take 22ple VM1 over all of these for overall performance. DLUX would be my second option.

In my post above I used CQuartz TiO2 on those satin wheels. I doubt CQuartzUK would change anything either.

Thanks for the response and clarification guys, much appreciated.

I have coated more matte paint finishes over the last 18 months than I can count. Ceramic coating them added ZERO gloss. As Guz said, the color does “richen” though, saturates the color if you will. Which I think is a good look.

Just to round out this thread, here a few pics of the results -











Thanks for the input guys.
