I have magnesium wheels that I would like to powder coat to resemble chrome plated finish. Can you provide me with the contact information of a powder supplier? F. R.
Answer:
Log onto www.pfonline.com/suppliers.html and search for powder coating suppliers. Ask them for “chrome replacement” powders or silver color powders with high metallic content. However, don’t expect that the result will look exactly like chrome. These powders come close, but they still look like shiny silver paint and not like a mirror.
