Budnik Finishes
Picking a shape and size for your ride is only a portion of the battle to build your perfect wheel. Which is why we here at Budnik Wheels try to provide you with a wide range of options to not only bring out the best in the wheel but in your entire build as well. Picking the right finish or combination of finishes can really bring your wheels to life.
Our most classic option, the Full Polish, is our standard. We put a lot of care into getting the cleanest reflection we can, delivering a timeless finish that is sure to catch attention. Hours of work at our polishing lathes with hand
For those who like a more industrial look we provide a Hand Brushed finish. This finish comes out matte with a slight texture which looks more akin to the raw machined aluminum.
Looking for great colors and a rich, matte finish? Our Ceramic Coat finish has become very popular. This ceramic coating is the same stuff that is commonly used on exhaust headers, a very thin, durable, and high tech coating. See the section below for more details.
Ceramic Coat Options
Our coatings are a selection of Cerakote coatings which provide a great layer of protection without sacrificing look and color. Cerakote is an industry leader in ceramic coatings whose applications range from hobbyist equipment: fishing, cycling, archery, etc. to precision industries such as aerospace, medical devices, and the oil & gas industry where performance is mandatory.
If you wish to preview colors prior to purchasing, Cerakote offers color samples if you pay for shipping. Our colors and the associated color codes are as follows: Silver (C-7700), Turbine (C-124), Charcoal (C-129), Basalt (C-111), Black ( ), Titanium (C-105), and Bronze (C-148).
We occasionally provide custom painting to match a color sample and paint code and powder coating is also available. However this service is costly and can cause large delays due to the availability of the coat and our applicators. Should you wish to have a custom finish done please consider reaching out to us.
Finish Combinations
Between polishing, brushing, and ceramic coating choosing your finish can be hard enough as is. However one option is not nearly enough. Whether you want the wheel center coated and the outer lip polished or even just the pockets of the wheel we can do it.
Combinations of finishes are quite popular and really bring some of our wheels to life. On most of our designs there are sections of a wheel that we call the "Pockets" or "Webbing", which refers to any recessed area of the wheel. Our combination finishes make use of this separation and depth to create a contrasted finish with a coated pocket and either brushed or polished wheel "Face".
