The last pic i started to try and sand down the paint and start over, the holes are ******* bubbles that go all the way down to the bare aluminum...


I guess you get what you paid for, Guy my brother works with said he can do it no problem, hes been powdering for that company for like 15 years... and thats how they turn out...??? **** man them 18's are wasted now

 

Thats just a sin. Sorry dude.

 

Ouch.

 

beat him with a rim !!!!!!

 

you paid for that i would not have paid!

 

yikes..........looks like you got hosed. sorry dewd

 

that makes me almost wanna shed a tear, better ram those rims up his ass

 

Looks like he forgot to strip off the original clear coat.

 

good luck get your money back and pay someone else to do it

 

as omega said, turned out that way because the original clear coat was not removed. Get your rims blasted clean and get him to do it again, will probably look great then. He should do it for free the second time around.

 

those things are fucked... they need to be media blasted, chemical sealing bath, then re coated, followed by a coat of clear. wow idk if thats even powder coat

 

Sell them as scrap aluminum and find a good deal on some aftermarket wheels. That sucks!

 

Those will need to be sandblasted and redone.

 

theyre trash, wasted the 175 bucks or how ever much i paid for them...

ohweellll

 

Wasted???? Sandblast and re do it. Looks like they weren't prepped right to begin with.

 

damn that **** sucks, i just got mine done and they came out beautifully. you should check out the company i used, might be a little bit of a hike from NY thou. heres the thread for my wheels https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/pictures-videos-64/fresh-wheels-171079/

 

ouch. sorry man.

 

Well, with the recent gorgeous weather finally reaching the north east, hah, i decided to take out the disasterous wheels and start working on them again... I've got them done to this...





Note: this isnt the finished product, i sanded each one for about 30 minutes a piece, and primered them with black filler primer acouple times... and i put the center caps on there for the heck of it, cuz i had extras lol...

I'm thinking i'll prolly let them sit for another week or so then if i have some nice weather next week i'll go through and sand them down again and primer them again to makesure i get a smooth finish when i goto paint them..

 

that sucks i would of gotten my money back or beat him with a rim lol and the new progress looks to be going well. hope they turn out good

 

i dont see how you can mess powder coating up its the simpleest procedure we do at work

 

hah, well supposably what happened is this... he sent them through the oven and the paint didnt bubble up, so he just powdered over it, then sent it through and then the paint bubbled up under the powder... i'm guessing he didnt really send them through the first time or something...

They were stock gunmetal wheels, the paint was chipping so i stripped them down to the primer and thats what i guess bubbled up idk.. hah ... i dont really care nemore tho, i'm fixing them

 

Damn that sucks but hopefully your getting them done the right way now. GL.

 

First off you would figure with 15 years worth of experience he should have known what would happened and he would have to sand blast those rims but on the flip side they are looking a lot better with just a shot of primer.

Make sure you get a shot of the final results bro

 

Looking promising now. Glad to see there's hope for them. Thought about powdercoating or painting my stock ones as they'll be demoted to strictly winter use next spring...but I'm not sure how to keep them clean, lol.

 

why would u pay for that ****
