Cool Get Your Wheels Painted Gunmetal w/ a Polished Lip

After posting up photos of my painted wheels, I have received numerous pm's asking how it was done or if a trade was possible. Although I can't trade the wheels, I would like to offer to paint anyone's wheels the same way I painted mine. They are also clearcoated for maximum shine and protection. I will supply all materials.

I can do this anytime you are free. Still, since everyone will be gathered at Mod Day, it will probably be the easiest at that time. If you don't like the lip, I can paint the entire wheel too.

Because the paint is clearcoated, and it's made to stick directly to metal, you shouldn't have chipping problems unless you bang a wrench onto the paint. Just be careful when intalling lug nuts. Other colors are possible as well. Here are examples: Click to see a full sized photo



Give me an offer of what you think my work is worth.

haha... what do u guys think is resonable for the work that I'm doing? Powdercoating is $50 a wheel so do you think $25 per wheel is resonable? More or less?

It should take about 3 hours at the most to complete. Maybe less.

It'll be a pretty professional looking job, and I'm not just doing it at mod day. Since materials cost more than half of that price, I don't thinkk $25 for all four justifies 2-3 hours of labor. Maybe $80 for all 4.
