yea i know how it goes but i was lookin more for someone that does it as a side job thing. the rims have some curbs so im not gonna spend like 1500 to paint em. the paint isnt bad but i just wanted to change the color. if i cant find somethin reasonable ill leave em.

oh btw...just saw this thread but titanium rim repair did my rims and it took one week just to repair my lip damage and paint, then they got the paint wrong (too dark) and it was VERY rough as it there was spots or chunks in the paint. So took it back to them and it took yet ANOTHER week just to do ONE rim....yea...not pleased at all. I spent my whole leave without being able to drive my Z and then i deployed...I was not satisfied at all.

found someone that powdercoated my rims pretty cheap and did a good job. as for titanums my friend went there and paid a grip but they didnt give him his wheels back in time for the show as promised then did a halfass job finishing it and charged him extra after. so i didnt want to got here. They even charged him for rushing it to get it in time for show even when they didnt meet the deadline and he couldnt use em.

I should have taken pic's, they did wats called an "orange peel" effect on the side that needed repair and it was just horrible...I was promised a 2 day turn around and that def did not happen. I was fixin to drive it on two doughnuts in the rear but yea....def wasn't happening. I need to check out allowwheelrepair cause my other rims need a small touchup....NOT CURBS just rock chips
