Painting wheels.

[pektel]

So, I'm going to be painting the stock 17's I think. Wondering what paint others have used that won't peel after 6 months. Moreso than just paint, are there any GOOD guides out there for proper prep?

Probably going to a charcoal or black.

TIA!

Powdercoat them. I know there are a couple shops here locally who will blast and powdercoat wheels for $60 each.

Now that would be a nice option. What type of shops do this type of work? Just wondering which types of shops I should be calling.

i was gonna color match my wheels :-D

Powdercoat is the only thing worth it IMO...

Just bring em to the local Maaco shop

Alot of sandblasting places do powdercoating too. Pick up the phone book, or go to a local cruise in and ask around. You could ship them here but then the price becomes astronomical.

You could even buy the kit from Eastwood and put an oven in the garage and do them yourself. Just another option....

Man, those PC kits are sweet. I got a junk oven in my garage. To bad its hard to find one a wheel would fit in.

Know of any restaurants closing down? They got some nice industrial stuff

I painted my stock 17's with Glasurit Diamond Black Paint @ my local body shop
