powder coated/painted wheels

[sikz6]

just picked some oem 94-95 wheels up, and was wanting to powder coat them. just wondering if anyone had done it and how much it costs, and how it turned out. post up pics, if you could. thanks

powdercoating is the way to go if you want it to last.

You can do a good spraypaint job if you prep it properly.

I painted these Legend wheels last week.

Ah I was just about to start a thread like this I picked up some oem wheels my self and I wanna sand them down good for paint.

OP is clearly looking for info on powder coated wheels, not spray painted ones.

Price obviously depends on the shop but my buddy had some stuff for his street bike powdercoated and it cost him about 35 buck so I bet that times 4 would be like $150-200. Also depends on the color

Powder coat would last longer.

correct, did you powder coat the wheels in your sig?

[bcjammerx]

you could get a powder coat gun and DIY, project car mag has an article...have to get it through their web site.

I think someone on here has rented one of those guns and did it with good success.

Otherwise you'll (obviously) have to pay a little more and have someone do it for you, but yeah man...powder coat ftw...btw you can get a clear powder coat

painted not powder coated

that's alot of rot

I painted mine with high temp paint made for bbq grills. Looked good and shiny for a week...then it went from semi gloss to flat powder coat for long term effect imo

powder coating is best (around $200-250 a set from my experience)

then getting them painted at a bodyshop with a base/clear coat is second best imo, this way is great also and you have the choice of color matching to a specific vehicle color

with powder coat you are limited as to what colors you can use and it will not a factory color code

i have gotten wheels done both ways and they are both good choices

spray paint is a definite no in my book
