I had the company that powdercoated the wheels, first acid dip the whole wheel. This removed all of the old powdercoat and clear coat that was flaking off anyway. It revealed a very porous ground type surface on the wheel face. Method does not smooth it out before they coat them. Then they were sanded and polished. I did not do this myself, so I can't to attest to how they did it. I know it was by hand. Pretty sure the tumbler method in ceramic media produces the best polished results, but places charge $200+ per wheel for polishing. You can also look into Zephyr polishes/products. They offer a lot of semi-wheel/tank polishing products. Hope that helps.

Forum settings do not allow me to update my original post now. Sold the King air bumps separately.


RPG Gen 1 Stage 2 rear suspension without air bumps. The frame supports I re-powdercoated in satin black. I ordered a brand new cross bar and axle impact pads. Comes with hardware. It sells new for approximately $1000, $750.

"Stage 2" means it includes the mounts and the bump stops. If you're only selling the mounts its the "stage 1" kit and new from RPG is $949.

Well I thought something seemed different when I linked it and I assumed RPG just raised their prices. It is in fact a Stage 2 when originally purchased, but prior to them including the air bumps. I don't believe the Stage 1 includes the axle pads and their hardware, and this does. At any rate, I've dropped the price more to reflect the difference now.

Yeah their website descriptions leave a bit to be desired. Glad my post wasn't taken as price bashing, just hoping to help you get your stuff sold.
