Alright I have painted my TRD's flat black. Now I don't want to put a clear coat on them that will defeat the flat look. Does anybody know if they make a clear that is satin or flat?Want some protection from elements but don't want them too shiny. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

you should be able to find it wherever they paint is sold..saw some satin clean at wal mart the other day...

Lowes. I saw a frosted clear.

If you want excellent protection, think about getting the rims powdercoated instead of painting them. It will cost a lot more, but the finish will be more durable and longer lasting than any paint job.

BTW, I think the flat black looks great.

Ive seen a flat clear specifically for matte paint.

Granted powder coating would have a longer lasting durable finish. But since you have already started the process...if taking them to a powder coater is not an option for you... I have seen like a few mentioned, a satin finish clear.

I have to admit... on that style of TRD wheel.. I like the matte black finish.

Well I'm going to have to look around this weekend for some satin/flat clear in a can. Otherwise its off to powder coating. Thanks for all the help and comments

Powder coat it for sure. Mine have been that way for almost 2 years and still look great.
