i was wondering if anyone know of a good way to paint rims?
thanx in advance

 

Well......thats a pretty vague question. What rims? Are they painted already and you want to change the color? Are they powder coated?,steelies?fully painted?painted center/polished lip?............................

 

sorry for making the statement too vague. i was thinking of the TRD and custom color to it maybe red, blue, or gold just trying to match the RS5.0 and doing something different

 

I was going to get a set powder coated once and I think it was only like 20$ a rim.I think they were going to sand blast them too but I cant remember. Of course you would need to have the tires removed (and reinstalled)and be without them for a couple of days. Imo powder coating is the way to go, my understanding is they hold up a lot better. Post up whatever you do I would like to see what they turn out like.

 

where would i go to get my set powder coated? i'l in LA

 

Don't know about them personally, but I read about them in a mag:

L.A.X. Wheel Refinishing
1520 Spence St
Los Angeles, CA 90023
Phone: (323) 269-1484

 

Not sure down your way...but I would figure you can look up powder coating in the phone book or google it with the area you live in. Or you could even put up a new post..."Where to get my wheels powder coated in the L.A. area?" And some of the peeps on here might be able to stear you in a good direction, possibly someone they have had a good experince with. Peace

 

Powdercoating is big in the ATV racing market, entire frames, swingarms and basically any bolt on piece, find a local ATV shop and ask them.

 

im haveing mine done now get them back monday sometime $15-$20 to blast and $45 each rim to powder .
