so recently i got into an accident. bending the inside of my rear passenger rim (leaking air). went to a professional to get my rims straighten out. they fixed the rim, but the face of the rim has scratches due to clamps and whatever.
i'm thinking about powdercoating them to black and maybe polished lip (cheap way to look 'aftermarket'). powdercoated OEM 19s doesnt look bad though, so i'm willing to try it out.

anyone on the boards from the BAY AREA does powdercoating on the side? or know any professionals that'll do it for a bit less than what the usual price of powdercoating? let me know, thanks.

PM urban. he found a spot doing it for 60/rim I think... it was either him or g35papa (chris). i can't remember....

you need specialized equip to do powdercoating, so you have to go to a specific shop

 

If you are going to powdercoat/paint them, do not do black with a polished lip, especially considering you have a black car. It will just make it look like you are doing that blacked out look, but in a cheap way.

OEM 19's don't have much of a lip to them, so I wouldn't try to show it off at all. Just my opinion.

 

That was Paul, Urban.

 

yea and the rest of the 3 are at my house hHAHAHAHA

 

lol. how did you change your name? can someone change my name to JazzyJeff.

back to the subject.

if i get a chance to take a pic of the rim that's F'ed up, you would want to powdercoat them too. lol.. like i said, yeah it looks cheap, but it also doesn't look that bad. true about no lip on the OEM 19s. i need them in a slightly different color. i dont know.. ryan, check em out when you get the chance. stop by my work and peep it!

thanks fellas.

 

Do full black powercoat. OEM polish lip just doesn't look right.

 

If you need the number to the place I am going to be taking mine just let me know.

 

im lookin at powdercoating my stock 19s as well. the only place i know that powdercoats by me is called Maas brothers in livermore. Let me know if u find a legit place for cheap

 

i would paint the whole rim black if my car was any color other than black.. i need more ideas, i think i'll do a poll.
