Can I Get Mags Resprayed?

[Tyson 1990]

Hey,

I have some nismo wheels (not the ones everyone wants, just some boring ones that no one cares about lol) and i like them a lot but they are just a bit dull. I'm happy with the rim bit because its a nice silver than can be polished to look real good but the inner piece is just that silvery colour that is dull and boring.

Anyway, is it possible to get the inner part resprayed black? I was thinking it'd look awesome if i got the inside that real nice shiny black colour and have 'nismo' stickers or 'nismo' sprayed onto it in white letters. So then it'll have the black in the middle and the shiny silver rim on the outside. I don't know if thats possible though.

Can 2 piece wheels be taken apart and put back together easily? I know theres like 100 bolts around the side of my wheel, or once they are on is it kind've impossible to take apart again? And is it possible for my type of wheel to be resprayed another colour like black?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

yep you can do all of the things asked, a rim repairer would be best to get them dis-assembled, then take the centres to a paint shop or a powdercoater to blast and coat, then back to the rim shop for re-assembly

Powdercoating probably be a better option, mate had a set of rims sprayed by a panel shop white and though it still looks good, where he's taken the wheels off a few times its begun to chip...

Awesome thanks!

Any idea how much this would cost?

[Bliksem]

Are they GT2's? I got mine powdercoated and bought some new Nismo stickers. Came up very well. Easy but time consuming to disassemble.

Off memory its like $50-$100 a rim for powder coating depending who you go to, atleast that's up here.

I didnt pay anything close to that... Was more like $100 for the whole set including clear coat. I took it to a commercial powder coater not a rim specialist though. Photo here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...t&p=4428017

Yours look great, it'd be good if i can get it done for that price. I'll talk to a couple people i know, hopefully one of them can do it.

they look good! and you got a whopper deal!

costs me $140 just to blast rims, never mind coat them too.

did some last week for shits and giggles, also for rego tyres

not a bad turnout for stock R33 rims

[T88 ON BOARD]

Damn Chris,

I thought they were aftermarket rims!!! I had to look twice!!!

Very Very nice work!!!

I cant believe you made those stockies look so tough!!! im sure alot of owners with Stock rims would rather this cheaper option...then buyer other rims...

Well done mate!!

[Bliksem]

Wow, sounds like I probably did then. I used to Live next door to that powder coater where I got them done. Thats about 2 years ago now... maybe he cut me a deal? I definately wasnt expensive in my case.

I would spray my rims a seperate colour as well but they are all chipped and scratched lol. So i don't know how that'd turn out.

Yours look good though Chris.

I'm now not sure what colour i should respray mine with. I was thinking black but my car is also black and i don't want every part on my car the same colour or it just looks too black. Maybe i should get them sprayed a gold colour or something? I have no idea.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what colour i should get?

[Craved]

not white !! haha

search around your area for powdercoaters, see what suppliers they use. the Dulux colour range is pretty small, some might use rohm and haas which have a much more comprehensive range of colours.

but atleast dulux will send you as a consumer a colour swatch book from their website if you want to check out whats available.

a nice black chrome would be good like below

[Bliksem]

Thats very similar to mine. Black Onyx is what I got from memory.

[Kranker]

do it yourself if you are short on cash and/or have the time

We did it on our MPS 6, resprayed the RX8 wheels we bought for it in a charcoal black,

just rub them back, couple of cans of desired paint, then a coat of clear.

The finish is pretty damn good for $100 and a days work, plus any repairs are easy because you have the exact colour for touch-ups.

but if people are quoting like $150 for a professional powdercoat (sounds cheap to me) then go for it.

Anyone got any recommended contacts (preferred Brisbane) for powder coater?

MintR33: where did you get those NISMO stickers? Ebay? The LMGT4s I have are like 9yrs old (looked at the production date stickers) and the NISMO stickers are fading, scratches on the paint etc.

Someone help me make my car look like this pls!
