Fresh wheels

Just got my wheels back from being powder coated. Color is Laser Crystal from the fine folks at Liquid Powder Coats http://www.liquidpowdercoats.com/


do i see a little bit of sparkle up close

and with the flash... Sparkle Sparkle!!!



these pics on my shitty camera don't do them justice either, when i first saw them in the sun earlier they looked amazing...oh and don't pay any attention to the date on the pics, camera's clock isn't set

they charged $70 a wheel for 18s, $280 all together. They were the cheapest i could find around me and where pretty cool guys, defiantly someone who has a passion for his profession

honestly im not 100% sure on that but i believe the metallic flake is in the paint not the clear coat but i could be wrong


thanks for all the comments guys, anyone in the Tri-state area should check these guys out if your looking to get any powder coating or airbrushing done

Looks sick. How long did it take them to do?

Also how did you make the center caps with the black chevy emblem?

they were pretty backed up so it was like 3 week wait, but it was worth it once i saw them. I got some black overlays for the center caps

Nice. Is that just tire shine? Your tires have some crazy shine on them. NJ.

Thanks to your post, I decided I was going to get my rims powdercoated. They where seriously jacked up.

I looked up a few local places who quoted me 400+. I talked to the people at the website above, and they quoted me 280, which was a deal breaker for me. It was a 60 mile drive for me, but none the less I dropped em off there today, and should have em in about a week.

Wish me luck

I went with Silver metalic, so we will see how that turns out. Basically silver w/ the metalic speckles.

Heres one of my jacked up rims lol.

dood, said he could fix em.

lol to be honest I have no idea how i did that. I am just guessing, but I think I wasn't paying attention on day, and accidentally drifted over and scratched a curb on the side of the road. I was probably doing 35+ at the time, so I think that would explain it lol.

All 4 of my rims are pretty much in the same condition, although that one is the worst.

don't worry mine had some decent curb rash on them, Martin did a great job sandblasting that all out, i cant even tell which rim had the curb rash on it now. Be sure to post some pics up when you get them back. and on a side note did you get lost going there? cuz i definitely drove by the place like 3 times before i realized where it was
