PURPOSE:To obtain a colored wheel of which colored coating film has been improved in peel resistibility by such an arrangement wherein a colored coating film is composed by such a method that the surface of a wheel made of steel is first electroplated by nickel and it is further covered by a film of chromate, and then a transparent or colored paint is further coated on the surface. CONSTITUTION:A double-layered nickel layer of approx. 7.5mum in thickness is formed by electroplating a wheel made of steel by nickel, and then a film of colored chromate of approx. 200Angstrom in thickness is formed. A transparent and colorless urethane resin paint is coated to the internal and external circumferential surfaces of this wheel into a thickness of approx. 15-20mum. In this case, if a colorless chromate film is formed, a colored paint is to be applied. The ground nickel layer and the colored chromate film are seen in bright golden color through the transparent paint and a colored wheel which is excellent in durability can be obtained. |
