has anyone ever painted or powercoates their rims?

 

I've heard good things about these guys with powder coating. I'll be sending my 93 Cobra rims to them this summer.

oops, helps if you post the link.... http://www.northeastcoatings.net/

 

Check my gallery. I have since sold these to another member on here. Process was easy and very affordable.

 

alrighty thanks a bunch guys!!!

 

Powder coating would be better for an entire rim, more durable, but I painted the spokes on mine. Pics in gallery.

 

all of your guys trucks are nice, i like the rims

 

Thank you!

 

aww your welcome,

i am going to put pics of my truck on here soon, i just havent had time
i was wanting some advice on my rims on how i should paint them

 

Looks like a good Idea. What kind of paint is best

 

I just couldn't take the faded grey look of the spokes on a black truck. I used Krylon engine paint. The one I used has teflon in it, but doubt that makes a difference. Took me most of a Saturday to tape them off, lightly sand, and wipe down with enamal reducer, then spray. Made all the difference in the world to me. Every time I take it to the dealer for an oil change, it gets good comments. They have held up well to pressure washing, etc, I use a spray wax when I wash. Everyone likes them except Stealth, and he's just jealous because he didn't have the idea first.(We live in the same small town and have identical trucks)

 

Thats why I love this forum. Everybody jokes around and come up with some awesome ideas.
