Satin Black to Gloss Black

In the market for a set of 763M wheels however they really on come in Satin and not Gloss Black. If I wanted them gloss is it as simple as having them sprayed with a gloss clear coat by a shop? Anyone have any idea what a clear coat spray might run me if that’s the solution? Any advice would be helpful.

Nah man, you're gonna want to do it right and have them sanded down and powder coated (gloss) correctly.

Trust, I've half-assed alot of things and theres always regrets

You could just ceramic coat them and it'll turn them into gloss black or even satin depending on the ceramic hardness and shine you choose. Probably be the only option if you're not looking to strip the wheel completely, and repaint it and get the best result.

Ceramic coat might be the way if you don't want to powder coat. Protects the wheel and makes it easier to wash.

If you're okay with replica wheels, there is a forum vendor that offers them in gloss black.
