painting/power coating rims

[Miggy]

i Have done some searching on the site and had no luck i have also called a few rim and painting/powder coating places with no luck as well, all im after is someone that can paint my WORK rims black with keeping the dish polished the rims are currently chrome.

I know there has to be some places out there that can do it any help very appreciated thanks.

Don't know if they do powdercoating, but pretty sure they do painting.

Are they one or two/three piece wheels?

Dependent on that, you can disassemble them, have the centres sandblasted which will prep the surface and make it suitable for painting as the chrome would be an issue otherwise. If they're one piece you'll need some heavy duty gaffer tape to place over any chrome pits so the centre section you want painted can be plasted then painted.

As 'X' said, R & L powdercoaters in Osborne park can do the blasting and painting in-house. They'll powdercoat or 2pak.

[Miggy]

Yeah I’m not too sure if they are 2 piece as I was also wondering that as then I could powder coat them at any place is there anyway to find out they are WORK VS-SD? I gave r and l powder coaters a call and he said that with keeping the chrome lip it would be hard to powder coat instead he referred me on to Wheelgleam to get them just painted black but he also said that they have allot of work right now, alliance rim repair also have to much work and aren’t taking anything on for another four weeks, been calling around like mad, just keep trying.

Wheelgleam gets my vote,

[MMM]

[Kilma]

[ImPreSiV]

Perth Powdercoaters??

One of the members on Perth-WRX works there - nickname is subistylin or something along those lines. I have seen their work, not bad at all. Will be taking my stockers there eventually

[Miggy]

I gave Wheel gleam a call and as mentioned above there flat out just like every other company but I left them a message as you cant call them i think there machines are down.

[Miggy]

Wheel Gleam got back to me last week, im bringing the wheels in on Saterday and he is going to see what he can do for me wooot, seems like a good guy too..Should go well.


Thanks for the help.

What did you pay

[Halle Terry]

is it possible to shadow chrome rims?

ie ones that maybe a matte colour standard but find someone to add a shadow chrome finish to it?

Is but the stuff is so expensive it is stupid

[Halle Terry]

more then say, $600?

looking at a set of weds sa70's

bronze ones are roughly 600 less then the blc (crazy shadow chome looking ones), but i heard that blc finish is impossible to fix if its stuffed

[Miggy]

Wheel gleam does it, it would be close to $600 maybe a bit more depending if the wheels need to be sand blasted.

Give him a call and find out.

[SSICK]

getting my rims powder coated next week. white with a very light blue pearl.

can anyone tell me if the current coating on my rims will bubble under heat?

they are HSV VZ R8 in shadow chrome.

[AGIT8D]

Did you call Brad (WCW)?

[SSICK]

nope. cam told me wat lewis paid and im getting them for 1/3 of that.

going through canningvale powder coaters.

white with a hint of blue pearl.

[AGIT8D]

Haha sweet. Your getting it done pretty cheap then. Most places I've read of are charging about $500. Do yours need repairing like his did though?

[SSICK]

nah,the rims are like brand new. 1 tiny little abrasion on 1. fuckall.

[AGIT8D]

Probably explains the difference in price

[Drift_R32]

yeh but if u got chrome dish too expect some massive leap in price..spraying an entire rim is fukall,

[SSICK]

well its been 3 weeks since i dropped my rims off and they only baked them on friday, they bubbled due to the previous coating, so sent them off to get sandblasted and its a no deal as it could weaken them......

anyone know of any methods of stripping a rim without blasting them?

[joshg123]

Soda blasting? far less abrasive but may take forever to get it off.
