I am trying to match the stock Miata factory wheel color with powder coating. The wheels have been bead blasted and are clean. I find the factory color differs slightly from Cast Aluminum and Blasted Aluminum.

Questions:

1. The Blasted Aluminum finish is a rough texture – did I do something wrong to get the rough texture or is this normal for the Blasted Aluminum powder. I used Gloss Clear over the Blasted Aluminum is reduced the rough texture.

2. Can I mix the two aluminum powders and will I get a spotty finish as a result.

Thanks

Tom
