Powdercoating original GU alloys ???

@ 4OFF same here wanted to match the colour of the TJM bulbar but the code is secret.
But matched up pretty good, just wanted to be different, plus now the Patrol has a colour theme
in black and grey

It's 50/50.

Kind of pissed off. Already ordered new tyres on 16" dynamic rims, and only then saw how good these look in black. lol

A straight all black setup will be cheaper.

Mine were 2 PAC painted and then cnc machined for the polished surface and then clear coated.
