Robert M Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Has anyone powder coated Shelby SuperSnake Alcoa wheels? How did you get the dura-bright finish off before powder coating? I bought the set shown below from a SuperSnake owner on this forum as an alternate set to my dura-brights, they were powder coated dark as part of his SuperSnake upgrade when his car was at Shelby Las Vegas............. ^^^^^I don't know if any surface prep was done or if the powder coat was applied directly on the original dura-bright surface?

07SGT4578 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I believe the wheels were media blasted then powder coated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4289cobra Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I had the wheels powdercoated and the valve stems anodizedee in the pictures in my garage. I bought an additional set of wheels and had them done, I didn't want to take a chance on the original set of Supersnake wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevem Posted December 26, 2013 Report Share Posted December 26, 2013 I just had my 2010 Super Snaked and as much as I love the Dura Bright, I think the powder coating looks awesome. I would like to find a set. Jer, would I be able to purchase them through SA? If anybody has other ideas, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can try to find you some "blemished" ones, since you'll be powdercoating them anyway? Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe anyone can apply that finish in the aftermarket. Sorry, hope that helps. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelbymotorsports Posted December 1, 2015 Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 As Jer mentioned Durabright is a proprietary process which is different from powder coating but there is a clear version of powder-coating available that could provide you with the look you're seeking. You'll need to check with a local wheel re-finisher to see what "sheens" of clear powder-coating they can apply. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
