Powdercoating My Weaves

[DarkWing6]

The paint on my basketweaves is starting to fade, so I've been contemplating geting them powdercoated. I've been thinking about going black. On a white car that should be getting a black interior soon I think that would look nice. I found a guy that said he will do them for $25 a wheel. Is that expensive? I don't really know the price range for this kind of stuff. Give me your thoughts on color choices too.

Thanks

Oh man, red powdercoated basketweaves would look so badass.

Eww, no.

[Jand3rson]

Eww, no.

I had a pic somewhere a while back of a delphin-grey E30 M3 w/ red basketweaves, it looked sick.

They didn't make delphin M3's, but red rims are hot. Ask trent. He has a set of euro baskets in red.

id have them sand blasted first before powder coat i had mine blasted for 10$$ a wheel 25 is CHEAPfor powder coat

[DarkWing6]

He was tellin me he would charge a little more, but not much and he would prep them. But I was thinking of stripping the paint off with acid that we have here at work. I'm pretty sure thats all they were gonna do too.

Also, does anyone have pics of the red? Sounds interesting, but maybe a little to different for me. I would do it if I was puttin' in a cardinal interior.

25 bucks a wheel is cheap.

Whatever, it was some dark grey color, and the red rims looked the fucking business.
