To all those with painted OEM 19s...how much did you guys pay to have them painted? My neighbor is charging me $350 to paint all four of my rims but I think thats kinda steep. Any input is welcome.

 

maibe 300, they are hard to do because the OEM 19s are 1 piece there is alot of maskig unless you want the lip powder coated too. then you can get it dont for $50 each.

 

Nah, no powdercoat. This is going to be a body colored IP paint. I am going to get the spokes painted with the silver lip and chrome center cap. Does that change anyone's opinion?

 

you know that paint chips right?

 

Powder coat them dude... those arent civic rims you can keep repainting... I was going to powdercoat my stock 18's black...I don't know if it would look cool or not though... when i got the car the front rims were pretty scratched up.. so i might still go with it if i find a reputable place here in WA. . . Powder coat them dude... save more money in the end

 

If I powder coat the wheels, can they be cleared for a gloss look? And can the powdercoat be made to match the IP because its not exactly "white"? I am kinda new to powder coating so any info is much appreciated. Also, can they powdercoat it so I can keep a silver lip and chrome center cap?

Edit: And can anyone recommend a shop in the Philadelphia.South Jersey area?
