Im sure this has been brought up in a thread, but I am new and only have one post to my name so far. I am looking to have my stock rims powder coated professionally just because i do not want them to peel back if i do it myself. How much am i looking at and could anyone recommend a shop in the indland empire/orange county area?

If i were to try and do it myself afterall, what am i looking at as far as steps and materials.

This place is pretty cool and i look forward to posting some pics when i get some mods going, but that depends on $$$ ...

 

if you were to DIY color your wheels, on average you'd need about $50 give or take depending the materials you may have already. list of supplies are as follows:

-1 to 2 cans primer
-about 4 cans of paint
-1 can clear coat
-progressively higher grit sandpaper (the higher the smoother the finish)
-1 can prep-spray (you can use the prep-wipes instead if you want)
-masking tape or index cards (to mask off the tire if you're not dismounting them off the wheels)

steps on painting:
i found this video helpful when painting a friends wheels

hope this helps and all goes well

 

jmonzon15 Thanks for the info... now i just have to find a day to do it!

 

My friend is doing mine for 30$$ lol PCM too

 

Get it done at a shop with real powder coating. Runs about $75 a wheel or $300 for the set.

 

Thanks criminal, i think im gonna just do it myself... there comes a sense of pride in making your own mods... i changed my own oil the other night and it felt so good when me and my buddy were finally able to get the oil filter out... anyways thanks for the 411... ill be sure to post some pics when its all done... need to find time though....

 

This is where I got my caliper brackets and A-RUCAs done...
