Hi All,

I have a set of type 3 steel rims and during one stage of their life they have been painted.
Is there a correct (silver?) colour to return them to there former glory?
Is power coating a better option?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Brad.

I recon white looks awsome for stock kombi rims (dunno what type 3 rims are). Powder coating is what i plan to do. Or use 2 pac paint.

Would 2 pac paint chip when they place a new tyre on?

I reckon powder coating would be best, much more durable.

If you want silver, they can do that with powder coating.
