So I called around to a few powdercoating places, only one responded. This place was supposed to have reasonable prices.. they quoted me $125 per wheel! And they can't do the center caps ... I might take it up the street to a friend of mine's body shop and have them paint them for cheaper. It wouldn't be powder coating, but would it be legit if I had them spray like 2 or 3 layers of clear coat on?

Rattlecan?

Thats how we roll. You can come by and take a look at my bike wheels if you want to see how they turn out - and those I painted in 35 degree weather

Noice! I wish I was good at photochopping... I'm actually really curious now how those particular wheels would look in gold on my car. I had my heart set on the "white on black" theme, especially with the tails tinted out... but gold might be money....

- .RJ - 03-22-2007

Scotty, where you at? Get your photochop on!

That looks really really good....HRMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!

plus lee the thing with paint is..if you dont like it, paint em a different color. that Duplicolor wheel paint is some durable shit.

- WRXtranceformed - 03-22-2007

Even just a photochop on these pics would give me a decent idea:

EDIT: Justin and I are trying to figure out how it would look also since my headlights will be tinted slightly bluish and the tails are currently blacked out. Blue + white + gold + black = the win?

$125 a wheel - thats way too high. Mine were $65 a piece - High Performance Powder Coating near Hagerstown MD.

sorry my friend, this is gonna have to wait til tommorow.

i don't have p-shop on my home compy at the moment and i'm using Gimp 2.2 as a backup -- it's the most piss-poor bucket of trash wannabe photoshop program i've ever used. maybe i'm spoiled by adobe but i hate knowing i could have had a nice little shopped picture posted up like 15 minutes ago instead of spending that time trying to get the "flip" function to work..... :x RAWR

- WRXtranceformed - 03-22-2007

Thanks Scotty!
