anybody can suggest a good place to get my wheels paint??

 

What color? BC/CC or Tri stage? (pearls etc) are they already prepped?

any body shop should be able to do it, shouldnt be more than $2-300 depending on the color because materials are expensive. the part that sucks is when you get the tires mounted.. when i had my tires mounted they scuffed the paint off the lips.

 

just prolly gold or silver. pretty straight forward color. nothing crazy

 

like UpsFella said I'd be concerned about mounting tires, you might look into powdercoating. I'm thinking I may put my car on blocks this winter and powdercoat my stock AP2 wheels "Black chrome" (like the Lexus IS-F wheels). If its a common color sometimes powder shops won't charge as much as having to order new colors etc..........good luck

 

powdercoating won't scrape the paint off during mounting??

 

no........I suppose they could, but they would really have to beat the $hit out of it. One of my friends had his mtn bike powdercoated (7-8 yrs ago)in blackcrome and it still looks brand new. The cost is going to be more but it's better then paint chipping off

 

if you wanna go cheap go buy some spray paint and just spray it. or go get it powdercoated.

 

can I paint it at home and then take it out for powdercoat?

 

No, powder coating IS painting, just a different process. It uses heat to bake the paint particles on, and is a lot more durable than most wet paints.

yah theyd just have to do more prep work.

dont powdercoat em if you plan on using them at the track.
