GT500KR Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 My question is, can I clearcoat it after I engrave it or should I engrave it first? For that matter can I clearcoat it at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby3 Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Aluminum wheels are clear coated so I don't see why not. I would do it after the engraving myself. No expert just what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After machining, prep it & clearcoat it, otherwise the aluminum will oxidize after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckySnake Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Heres what else I did today I took this off and put this on........... anyone looking for a decklid emblem? I don't see the difference. I probably need better glasses. Edit: Now I see, I like the first better. Why change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
