i was wondering if theres a shot in the bay area that paints rims? powder coats em and stuff. i know theres a shop in so cal, but im up north so i was wondering if theres a shop that can chrome out my lip and paint everything else black (glossy to match the color of my car [BO]). also prices would help too. a rough estimate. thanks

 

there has been been alot of threads bout this question. check out this link it has all the shops for anything you will ever need for your g

yeah i found that link kris. damn its so expensive to powdercoat each rim and make the lip chrome! like.. 145 each rim. my friend told me a place that did em for 74 each, so i was expecting around that price range, but i got double

 

Shane,

Thanks for remembering!

Sliq,

Boris (vodkarocket) and I did a DIY for rim painting and it can be found here:

Also, Skeleton_Cru painted his rims, but I do not know if he put up a thread about it.

[EDIT]: DISCLAIMER... I am unavailable to paint rims - this was done as a technical exercise to see if we could do it - I am by no means an expert and would feel awful if due to my inability things turned out bad.

 

Nice

Even is I said PLEASEEEEEEEEE?

 

74 bucks for some 13 inch rims lol

 

haha yeah probably. damn i want to pain my rims but i guess ill have to save up and wait.
