well on monday i should have a price on how much it will cost through the guys that we deal with at ****. so i will report back on monday

 

thanks steve.

 

it works out to be about $160/rim.

 

damn you!!! here I am wet sanding between coats and your being lazy... lol

 

hahahaha.

 

ahahaha thats what i told him! i said ppl are more then willing to help u out!

 

Dont pay any more than $200 to have them painted.... I had mine done n was quoted at $125-150

 

ya the place that my body shop deals with is $160/rim

 

$160 total? Thats not a bad price.

 

i think he means 160 per rim

 

ya its $160 per rim. they do really good work and they're mobile so they come to your dealership.

 

Holly crap guys! Thats insane! I had mine done by a professional bodyshop... It was going to cost between $125-150 TOTAL.... But i know the owner of the bodyshop n he done them for free as a bday gift. Plus i can get them powdercoated for $50 a wheel.... I think you guys need to look around more.

 

I have my rims powdercoated black, red lip, and metal flake clear coat for $200 TOTAL

 

slightly off topic, but can you sand blast there rims without damaging them? if I used a light sand?.

 

I wouldn't... It will prolly pit them... Just use a sander, it will work just fine.

^^^ Can verify that. He's not lying!

 

well i called around today to alberta wheel repair, they say about 160 per wheel and i also called screamin paint works and they said anywhere from 75-150 per wheel...

and cruisin , i wanna get it done right, i definatly admire your work in doing it yourself, its definatly more rewarding, but i dont have the time (it sounds like its taken you around a week) and the supplie nor knowledge to do it myself, also if i get a shop to do it i can get it custom colored and it will look really good as opposed to me doing 'custom'.

 

hey im not judgin, jsut giving a hard time, lol. I am wet sanding right now... lol. I am jsut testing this new wheel/mag paint. I am goign to try them for the summer see how they look, I am also in school right now and have free time out the wazoo and no money so.... its not really taking any time out of my day... lol. If they fail I will get them done professionally.

 

yea haha well they look good in the pics!!and i think the black will look rad on your car.

 

I sure hope so, everyone around here says it will look gay, but the photchops say otherwise. they saw the rims in stage 1 of paint and half of them changed there minds

 

i got quoted 81$ a rim powder coated at my place
