We recently built these NewGen Triggers, in 18" for a customer in Las Vegas for his 1970 Nova. The car is almost black, but in the sun is a dark green, and I really believe this new finish is going to compliment the car very well.

The new finish, shown here on the outer is called "Mineral Grey". Its a very warm color that pops browns, greys, and a little bit of copper even depending the light it is in.

Enjoy the photos

THAT is an awesome color !
Are they 2 piece and if so, are you powdercoating the outers before or after assembly ?

Its super easy to clean as its resistant to brake dust, and even brake clean. I'm seriuos, you could spray brake clean on it, and nothing. Our coaters say a lot of race teams use it, and clean them with literally a terry cloth, and brake clean. Crazy. But for the purpose that most will use it for, just a lot of soap, a lot of water, and dry them. No polishing, waxing, or any of that. And for touch-ups, use glass cleaner, and a soft cloth. :thumbsup:

...and that sounds like the finish I need on my next set of wheels. Is this finish available in a range of colors?

Yes! Matt, we can go to the coaters together and look at the samples together.

Outers are powder coated before assembly normally, this finish is a ceramic coating, which is actually done after assembly. Why, whatchya thinking?

I was curious because they look so nice. I know its near impossible to weld the 2 piece wheels together after they are already coated. The heat from welding blisters the coating. Being that the coating is ceramic, well that is probably the key to getting them done. Its a great look ! :thumbsup:
I got a few things in the works.... I'll be in touch.
