how long did it take u to sand down that polished crap dom?

 

about a half an hour to an hour. you dont have to sand all the way down to the metal just til u get that clear coat off. you go over it with a red sandpaper kinda feels like an sos pad. you can pick those up at your napa.

 

sweet dude thanks

 

Hey man, how much did it cost to do that?.....or did you do it yourself?

 

here, ive done the work for you

I also agree with you and Allshot. The high-gloss seems to be too much. A matte black on them would look better for sure.

 

Incorrect, you can powdercoat in different colors.

 

Right beside eachother? on a hard line like is shown on the painted wheels in this thread?

Im not denying it, i just havent seen it done before.

 

^^^ yeah thats one of the reasons i didnt have it done, i didnt know if it was possible to mask off a section and do just the face

 

powder coated are better then regular paint. My dad has a body shop and he said powder coating is better then anything he can put on them, I just had my cavi's wheels done, they look great. mind you they are not black though.

 

damn dude I'd be willing to trade LOL

 

Yes, it is possible to do hard lines. They have a high temp masking tape (I think its silicone) that withstands temps up to 500 degrees.

 

damn if i ever decide to do this to my stockers, which i wont, ill do it this way

 

You're probably better off that way. The way the dealerships and GM have been acting lately, they might void a warranty for coloring the wheels

 

 

Why I otta

 

very cool.

the only question then would be.....is this a special process that most local shops arent gonna be able to do? and if they can.....is it gonna be extremely expensive....


Id definately prefer powdercoat, we all know its better.

but im not paying $500+ to have this done when i can do it for $30, even if i have to repaint every 2 years.

 

i painted mine black where his is blank looks sweet

 

uh pics

 

anyone have 2 colos on there rim they painted? pic please?
