I just recieved my 2005 black 6MT on friday and i love the factory forged 19s, but i am looking to go the route of the black wheels on a black car. I was wondering how hard would it be to have them powder coated black? I am in the central texas region, so any shops, etc. and maybe some idea of the cost involved woule be good to know.

 

Shouldn't be too hard. I've done this on a few bikes. The best combo I've found is to have them painted, then have clearcoat baked on. Smooth as silk, and much easier to clean. I know of one guy in the DFW area that does decent powdercoating but don't know anyone in your neck, good luck though!

 

Thanks for the reply. What was the name of the guy in DFW? I only live about an hour and a half from Dallas so any info would be great. Thank!

 

The best person in Dallas is Sabatini, you can look the number up. Be warned, he ain't cheap

 

it's okay to paint the wheels in an aftermarket shop but the power coating just won't look as good as the one done by the wheel manufacture and I think the paint won't come with a warranty. So I will suggest you NOT TO DO it - The factory one looks good
