Yes GM has a special color code for it also .. , For powder coating they should be stripped of and sand blasted or soda blasted otherwise its just gunna chip like a mother..

Do what you think will look the best, since you will be looking at it more than everyone else.

LOL WUT???

yeah, they paint them. And any REPUTABLE powdercoating shop/person would KNOW 110% that they need to be soda/sand blasted before powdercoated.

dude.. I have an 09 Rally yellow SS/TC and I wanted to powder coat the stock rims a gloss black.

Are you doing a Matte(dull) or Gloss finish? and are your rims stock

regardless, post pics when done

since we are on the topic of painted rims... does anyone have a pic of a black cobalt with gold or bronze rims? I am thinking about painting the stockers.
