any one know where i can get a pretty decent price on painting my 06 stock rims in the bethesda, MD area?

 

I have a guy who does side jobs at his house. He has done all my custom painting parts and some body/paint work for friends.

Tell him Barnabas sent you and ask him what he can do to hook you up. He does great work

 

You can do it yourself. Depends on how you want it done. Any ideas?

 

rattle can!!!!

cheapest way and if youre good.. they look good.

 

thanks for the info do u think u could put up some pics of some of his work?...and do u know what his rates are?

I currently have the 06 enthusiast stock rims...i want to do them a straight black or gunmetal but im just not sure if itll look good (the rims are kind of bulky for my taste with color)...but if i do how much would the cans be and do u know which kinds of paint would be most efficient?

 

sand with 200 grit.. wet sand 1000-2000 grit... rustoleum metal primer... few coats... and then whatever colour you want... and dont forget clear!

stock rims... iunno ive never cared enough about mine to pay a lot for powdercoating or anything.

did it on my old neon ones for my autox car. then again... its a neon...

green is tape. pink is paint.



semi blurry pic :-\

 

Thats pretty good!!!!

 

Sorry I dont have any pictures. If you look in the epic randomness discussion thread about 10 pages back there are pictures on my car... All the interior paint work was done by him...

He does it job by job... He is a professional collision shop worker and used to own his own shop. He just enjoys doing side jobs for cash. He did a bumper painted and installed (toyota mettalic blue), my two tanks, and my sub enclouseres, in lemans sunset, and faided paint to fix my front bumper for 600... tell him I sent you and he will hook you up. For an overspray on a set of rims... It wont be much most of the charge will be the paint since nissan only sells it by the pint. (My lemans paint was $90 for 1 pint) But if you just tell him the color and he gets it from his supplier your cost will be really low.

 

thanks barnabas for the tips will look into it and they do look good btw trinity thanks for ur tips as well

 

hey no problem that what forums are for

 

Hey man you can mostly likely do it yourself look into the do it yourself section, check out my rims, I did them myself and love the way they came out comparing to stock, just don't be afraid to mess them up man, a total of 6 hrs or so it should take, just don't drive your car till the next day.

 

Hey Barn does he do bumpers as well? total damage so far is about $1,200 plus a $300 windshield which I have to place on a separate claim.

 

I know you're in the Bethesda area, but if you bring the rims to my shop, just provide the materials and I'll do them for free. The only stipulation right now is that the regulator in my sprayer is not allowing air to pass through it, so I'm debating on whether to replace it or just replace my entire set since it's getting old, or I can do it with rattle cans.

Here are my stockers I did;

 

Yea he does!!! Depending on your damage he may be able to fix it. Mine was rubbed thru the paint, and he blended and cleared it and you cant even tell it was there.

But if your bumper is damaged beyond repair Im sure he will hook you up. Just give him a call!!

Make sure you tell him I sent you he said he will knock the price down for you he said he will take care of any of my fellow car enthusiasts

 

Koo man appreciate it

 

Ok, Just sand it down and cover up your tires or wherever you dont want to get sprayed, and Spray on!

 

If it only it were that easy.

 

Thats how I did my stock wheels. Was bored one day and just painted them.

 

oh but it is that easy lol

 

Oh, but it isn't if you want it to look good. You need to put love in every bit.
