I was looking into doing something different and got a pretty good price to have all of my 2001 L rims polished and shot with a couple coats of clear, and I was wondering if anyone has had this done to their truck?

Just wondering so I could get an idea of what it would look like, my biggest issue would be getting center caps to match the overall look, considering the look is slightly different than chrome. Let me know what you guys think and if you have ever seen this done, thanks.

i have considered doing mine, but decided against it after i polished my blower.

 

I've got one wheel done. I plan on starting up on them again once I move into my new house later this year. Mine will take longer than most because I am polishing the inside also.

Very cool Tampa, you still in Tampa by any chance I would love to check them out. What do you plan on doing for the center caps, how are you going to match those?

 

I'm in Orlando now, I will just either get chrome center caps are paint my oem ones black.

 

FLBigDog,

Did you ever talk to Glen about the powder coating and polished lips ?

Just wondering what the result was...

If his prices were high I'd like to know so I can bust his chops....or at least take his money on the golf course...Oh wait...I'll do that part anyways

That's waaaaay too much maintenance....Cat pees on one of the wheels and you're screwed....just my $.02 for ya...

 

Hey Art-man, his prices seemed a little high, but that was pretty standard for what was offered locally. I wasn't able to get my hand on a set of 03-04 wheels to do what i wanted anyways. I wish I could have done business with him, but it didn't work out. If I do get those wheels in the future I will def call him.

 

kinda o/t but isnt there a type of sealer for polished wheels? I cant keep my boyds clean when they are on my truck.

 

I had mine clear powder coated, it took some of the shine away but I'm lazy when it comes to having to clean & polish wheels on a daily driver... They wash off w/ soap & water and don't need polishing.

Sorry for the glare...it's the only photo I have handy



Here's a side view....you can see they did not loose that much shine...

 

Actually Art-man, I think I am gonna just have my 01 stockers done in a darker silver than the stock color, almost grayish like yours just a tad lighter, any idea what he would charge me for that?

SVT_KY has a set of wheels in the color that I want to get them done it, I just can't find the pic for some reason.

 

Not sure what he would charge, are you near or in Tampa ? I could take you over or meet you there sometime and see what deal he could cut... and BTW if you're interested I still have my stock 04' wheels.

Send me an e-mail and I'll shoot you my number and see if I can help you out.

 

I am very interested. I would like to check out doing a few thing with the wheels. I am in Tampa, I live right off N. Florida and Bearss. Let me know if we could meet up some time and head over there.

sent you an email, thanks man.

 

its called zoops seal. i says it lasts a couple years, but i have heard it really stands up for a year or so in DD duties.
