I can do that to your wheels for $350 in powdercoat. In fact, I will be selling a selling a set of performance rims in gunmetal when I get them back from a friend in the next week or two.

A lot of my friends paint their rims like these. They use some sort of spray, and the finished product looks really good. And it only costs like $20 to do all 4 rims. And I know they come in bronze, and flat and gloss black, and maybe others. If you're interested, pm me and I can find out what they use and where they get it.

2003z- how long does it usually take to do the wheels. I am looking at having my Track rims done in a gloss black almost like the volk black.

Thanks

It takes me about 2 weeks, because I have to strip them by hand, with paint stripper, then with a wire wheel and elbow grease. Some places will coat over the paint, but thats not as durable.
