How To Paint Your Wheels

[sultanaz]

i was looking into getting mine Powder coated, Costs about $450 but i heard much much less likley to chip.

After seeing this though im going to grab my self some paint this weekend, Did you look into hiring a sand blaster? or getting them blasted first?

Not sure how good it will all stick to the existing paint, Or is the idea of the sand paper to leave it rough for the primer to grab hold?

Is ther much choice on clear coats? a more resitant one for stone ships ect.

By any chance did you see if they had a satin or semi gloss black?

Brother i got my BBS RS wheels powdercoated from Pass Powdercoating in Marayong for a total fee of $160, all 4 Rims and 4 waffle centre plates and they looked magic, all i did was remove the front lip because they are a 3 peice rim, but this is a 1 peice rim so i wuddnt see it being much different ay.

ill tell u how good the quality was i actually threw one of the waffle plates down the backyard like a frisby in anger from something going on and they smashed into the back fence and hit the concreate and there was no damage what so ever.

just to give you a idea.

when i bought the bbs rs wheels...

• I broke the rims down in 3 peices (3 peice rim)
• sanded the lips all back to remove corrosion and polished up afterwards
• i cleaned up the bolts & nuts
• sent the rims to be powdercoated
• bought new centre caps and hexnuts
• recieved the rims back and started putting it back together
• sealed up all the rims again and torque'd every bolt to the same tension

Alot of stuffing around, but hey look at this

and then the after shot

cheaaa powdercoats the shit !!!
