Re: Any photoshop experts?

The problem was it was a single stage color powder coat and the gold "metallic" sank down below the color top coat and lost its sparkle.

At Transwheel, they used a two stage process on my stock rims. They actually painted the wheel with the factory color code silver metallic and let it dry. Then the applied the clear powder topcoat to seal everything in and keep the sparkle.
