Hi Mark,

The Cerakote finish on your trim and wheels is the color by any chance Tungsten or Sniper Gray? I not a fan of the chrome wheels on my car and want to go with the same color you used.

There's a difference between those two colors?

Top one has more taupe or bottom one has more blue.

Monitor color settings may skew the perception.......

Mark,

Regarding performance, what is your perception of the Cerakote finish?

I've tested Cerakote on offroady-type 2-wheeled things and it holds up quite well until an impact of a certain force, then it cracked and flaked off quite quickly. This was on raw, welded, heat-treated 7005 aluminum. Not sure what alloy his rims would be forged out of and if the treatment base coating would "stick" better to the rim material.

I like it. Seems to hold up well but it can be scraped off if treated rough. We will know better once Charley takes the car on Power Tour. LOL

Ditto, I will also be doing a few legs of the Power tour this year. However, I am certain Charley will be driving his car much harder then I drive mine.

on a side note I will have my bike with me so I can hit a few of the mountain bike trails that are near each of the Stops.
