Hope I'm in the right thread and if not, sorry mods!

Hey guyz,

Just wondering if any of you guys know a business that paints rims around the Western Suburbs, Victoria? It can either be powder coating or spray painting, as long as it's a good job and cheap. Would prefer people that's done business with them so I can get some feedbacks.

Thanks!

John.

My rims were powder-coated in Airport West, for about $120 for all 4, but i knew the guy through my mechanic. Either way, the painter has left the business and the business has moved to another shop somewhere near by, but am yet to find where. Apart from a good clean and a light sand, no prep work was required for my rims.

$220 is a great price.

I sprayed my wheels with a can from autobarn. Simply becuase they are 200 dollar wheels and i thought powerder caoting would cost be about 300 and i wasnt willing to spend that.

The finish came up better than expected (didnt really know what to expect) and the durability has surprised me a little. with no scratches or anything yet (have been spray for about 2 months.

If i was to do it again the only thing i would do differently is spray with some sort of clear coat laca or something. something with a bit of toughness and a little more smooth, as the paint texture seems to hold dirt/dust pretty well.

I give them a light polish evrey 4 or 5 car washes and that makes the brake dust come off with ease :D

here is a pic about 3 weeks after spraying.

umm..

they were around 14 bucks each. and all 4 wheels took about a can and a half.. did a really light coat on each wheel, then a much heavier 2nd coat.

In my opinion. I am very hapy with them, considering it cost me under 30 bucks, and they look like brand new wheels :)

spray can for the win! :D

Cheers

Just found the details, ask for Tim do the powder coating.

T&C Powder Coating

Contact: Tim (owner)

Tel: 9338 6631

Add: 12 Marshall Rd, Airport West.

Just got a quote to powder coat a new set of 18" rims (no prep work required), using gloss black, $120 for all four rims :).

If the rims need to be sand-blasted, etc, it will obviously cost more.

PM Age, he's sprayed several sets of wheels.

The WRX club has had rim painting days where several people got together and did a load at once.

They had the wheels off the car, masked the tyresoff with tape and newspaper. I believe they gave them a light sand (something like 1200 grit), then under coated, then sprayed, then clear lacquer, couple of coats of each I seem to remember.

They came up great and last well, I reckon stones are gonna chip no matter who paints them.

There is a DIY on the Rex club site, but its in the members only section.

The wheels went from this

Black, charcoal, gunmetal and white have all been popular

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
