Has anyone ever painted or powder coated their stock rims?
And I mean professional, no rustoleum.

Or even thought about it for that matter.

It sounds stupid but i think it would look somewhat decent.
Like black center and spokes w/ an alloy lip...

What do you think?

check it out, tell me what you think... I did these myself.. not powdercoated

 

pretty nice looking man.

 

Nice!!!... what did you use???
Anyway you can get an up close shot ( the front of the rim) ?

Just picturing it in my head is good, but seeing it is ten times better.
Thanks

 

I used black high heat engine paint (duplicolor).

If you look up "painting stock rims" on google... there should be several sites that come up with how to paint them. Step by Step.

 

im thinking about using http://www.duplicolor.com/products/wheel.html in bronz on my bsp tc i think it would look good

any opinions?

 

looks good

 

im very interested in having my stock rims powdercoated bronze ... i have an idea what it would look like .. anyone wanna photochop it for me? i have a black cherry pearl tc ...

 

wow that looks great! how did you get the lips polished?

 

i think bronze on BCP would look nice...

Do it

 

anyone else have any thoughts, comments, or concerns???...

 

i dont think it would be that hard but i just got mine powder coated without having a lip .. meaning its all black

 

I know that the price will vary where i live, but how much did it cost to powder coat the rims?

 

yeah how much?

 

I wanna do that for my FM tC, but definately want to do it myself., and it definately needs a lip.

 

Problem with our wheels is that there really isn't a lip, I was talkin to a powdercoater (on the side) at work, and he said it would be far easier, and cheaper, to just get them powdercoated without the lip.

 

I like the look of having a lip but without a lip is nice too... I'd have to see a better pic of the one with the lip to make my final judgement

 

I like that all black, i think it wouild look great on my BCP

 

Hey butcher, have more pics of you car with those wheels. my neck doesnt bend that far. lol

would just like to see some upright shots of the whole car look

 

i just got back from a local powdercoating place and they said they have to Sand blast the wheels 1st to get down to bare metal then powder coat...estimated like $600.


YA! ill paint them myself for $30. and just buy the Aftermarket Axis wheels when i get the money
