Re: furd rims on chevy...

Yeah, Ford put a grey on theirs. I had a sandblaster give up on blasting some gloss black powder coat off a set of wheels. I told them to try a grinder to break through first and that worked. Once you get under it you can blast it off. But that Wheel Vintiques satin black acted just like the coating I had on my headers I had done at a ceramic coating place. I asked a bout black instead of solver and they said they could. I didn't realize that was just a primer. It has held up for years but the headers started getting some rust at the collecctor (since '04). Summer of '16 I did engine work and hit the headers with a cup brush to touch up with VHT. That flat black flew off there like powder. When I did the wheels I scuffed with sandpaper in my hand and it cut right to metal with no effort. I wouldn't leave that on a set even if I wanted black
