Hallo, I am new here.

I have a question about the surface-finish at the WORK CR KAIs.

Is this white a special white without gloss(semigloss) or is it a simple white finish?

I have found on www two pictures where I can see two different finish surfaces.

Here without gloss:

And here with gloss:

Or are they the same surfaces?
Do they only seem to be different in the pictures?!?!?

it depends who does it

it's probably cheaper to take it to a shop and do it yourself, then you can ask for anything you want, gloss or no

you could make them semigloss by going over the wheels with a scotch brite pad. lol

OK, also are they the same.

But what is it now? The orig. finish coat.
With a normal Level Gloss or semigloss or anything?!?!?

The reason why I ask is, at the moment i buy the WORK Wheels, but in bronze,
becouse for white CR KAI I had do wait 2 Months.
And now i will give them to powder coating, but they have ask, with or without gloss clear coat?

Thats why i ask for the finsh coat.

i'd go with the gloss clear coat since the second pic works look kinda glossy/sweet...

I dont thinks so. I think the clear coat makes it darker.
I like the white color in the first two pictures of my thread.
But thats it, whot seems in pictures. Maybe in real they appear another........ i dont know

I will thay have in this pait how they come orignaly from WORK!!!

Anywone other know, whot is the orig.coating kind?

to be honest, just wait the two months rather then doin' something your not gonna be happy with in the long run...

the second picture is probably the best one to see how they really look. all three of those pictures are the same finish but the wheels look darker in the 3rd picture because they are not in direct sun light like the ones above....gloss coating will not make white wheels look darker, in direct sunlight matte or gloss finish wheels will probably be equally bright... you just want mirror white and not a pearl white
