Did he sand blast before coating?

He stripped them with a wire wheel. He did a great job. I did put one small scratch in them by dropping a tool on them.

Really, they should be pretty resistant to scratching. I've seen a guy hit powder with a hammer and it not do anything to it.

Yea well I dropped a 3 lb+ tire iron on it, sharp end down and it made an un-shinny spot.

I touched it up, no worries.

Hope they last a while for you and yes they look good.

Here's some good bunk I picked up a while back & used on my Z wheels - they were particularly bad about showing grime, so I tried this stuff & it seems to do a better job both resisting & releasing brake-dust buildup than 'regular' sealer/wax. Thought I'd pass it along:
