Default NewGen: New Finish "Mineral Grey" shown on Trigger

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

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.

...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.
