Had this PM'd to me. I've never had alloys, so can't asnwer for certain...
Pedrinis - did they have Wurth silver finish, or clearcoat? My recollection is that they were not painted, but clear anodized. What say the non-members? |

The Mahles on my original Bumblbee are not painted, no coating. Other non-members say their original cars have painted Mahles (Wurth silver?) I did paint the Mahel rims on the grasshopper, which were not perfect, with Wurth silver and they looked mighty fine.
Don't know what the eye-talian rims are like. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

I am pretty sure the Mahle's and Pedrini's are painted. I know for certain the gasburner Mahle's were painted. I really can't see the cast alloys without a coating to protect the surface. Unprotected aluminum corrodes too fast. For sure they are not anodized, the cast surface is too porous for that process.
