Powder coating our rims?

[BlackMSP]

Someone try to photoshop powder coat them in black or white I think they would look SICK. I think instead of getting new rims im just going to powdercoat mine black. Do you know about how much it costs anyone? I heard around $200 :eek:

I can't recall what it was exactly, but for 4 rims I had priced it was gonna be close to $500 total. That was with me dropping the rims off as is...If I prepped them, it would have been closer to $400. Most of what you are paying for is the amount of work they need to do, so if you save them time, they save you money.

Okay, scratch that...its been a while since i got that priced...i just did a search for it and found a company that'll do it for $180-$220 for all 4.

That sounds a little more reasonable...

do you think it wuold look to powder coat our rims black or just stupid?

If you caught one of my other posts about black rims, the downside to having them is you HAVE TO KEEP THE TIRES GLOSSY. Black rims and brown, faded looking tires will make your whole car look horrible. That, and the fact that you can't see the design of the rim as good, but black rims on a black car does lok pretty sweet.

Once again, I did it really quick so it's kinda crappy. But I'm off to bed now.

can anyone put golds on my MSP? i think a dark copper gold would look FREAKIN HOTT on the sunlight silver

Aren't the MSP rims already powdercoated?

I think there are supposed to be some structural issues with double powdercoating alloy wheels...

[Boost-Or-Lose]

the original coating will need to be stripped back down to the raw metal, etched with an abrassive grit and then colored. After that they have to be polished and clear-coated. Make sure you are getting all of that work for $180-220. I think $400 is CHEAP

i think the original silver rims look best IMHO

Here's the darker '03.5 rims on a black mica (mine), this may help.

My wife and son love 'em, I like 'em marginally better than the OE RH's, but I like the individuality of the darker color on the black car. I'm not a black-rim fan since you can't even tell there are good rims on. May as well run steelies.

[Wiggles422]

That looks nice with the 03.5 rims. I was gonna ask someone to post a pic of a black mica with 03.5s you beat me to it.

[sizesmall]

curious... has anyone had any problems with powdercoated rims chipping??

Hey, I didn't forget about ya.
Is this the color you're looking for? I can change it if you want me to.

you have nothing better to do? lol actually after i posted my first post i just read it as march 19th, i didnt look at the year so i figured it was recent http://www.tallahasseemusclecar.com/forum/images/smilies/finger.gif

[KyRaceFan]

hah i dont care, its just funny. Those bronze wheels DONT belong on a titanium car.

[Wiggles422]

it's all good (2thumbs) yeah I think the 03 wheels would look pretty nice (vs. the darker 03.5 wheels) but i havent seen 03.5 wheels in person though, only pictures.
