So I’m restoring an ‘84 4Runner and I really dig the stock styling. I’m putting a set of painted Land Cruiser wheels on which is a wheel that could have come on these trucks in ‘84. I had the wheels powder coated, first time experience for me, and I’m not sure if I’m happy with the results.
First thing is the color, I debated on going just straight attic white, or the cream white you find on the stock LC and Pickup wheels- Cygnus White T012.
I went with PRB-1009 (Prismatic Powders - WHITE HEAD RIVER - https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/PRB-1009/white-head-river)
I dig the color, but now I’m thinking I should have just gone for an Arctic White.
Second thing, I’m wondering what people do to prep their LC wheels for powder coating? Should the creases of the wheel look like this, or do you think I should take them back to the powder coater, and ask what’s up.
