Just got me some Volk GT-V's for my PPW in mercury silver. My intentions were to buy gold rims, but didnt want to wait a couple months for the GT-V's to come with a custom gold paint job. I am looking to powder coat them to a similar color as the gold on the Volk GT-C's... Anyone know of a good shop in or near Orlando who can do that for me? Thanks in advance.

The color I am going for...

 

Where did you end up getting your wheels from man, I know I talked to you alot about getting some from me!

You have the G sedan right?

 

racing zone... orlando

 

Ok, cool.

 

so anyone know of any places around here? revhigh.. any suggestions?

 

I'm also looking for a powdercoater - but in Houston

I'm looking to powdercoat my SF-winnings a dark charcoal metallic - time for a new look...

 

When powder coating, will they be able to keep the middle part (where the lug nuts and stuff are) of the rim chrome.. and the rest gold, like the picture?

 

yes they will. I would volunteer my services, but unless you have a 3 piece wheel with removable centers, 17" is my oven's limit, for the time being. I am working on upgrading that, however!

 

Thank you, I have the two piece wheels, wish ur oven was bigger.. anyways, how much should i expect to pay to get this done?

 

performance nissan does it for 525. but you have to ship your wheels to them.

 

Im sure they are worth the shipping, but i want to stay local, I got quoted under 300.

 

$300 is a great price. Wheel Wizard here in atlanta charged my friend $650, and no masking off was involved, but that included mount and balance also.

 

Mike when can you do the track rims? I want to get my rims PC the same color as Volk Diamond black. Thanks

 

So, when powder coating the rims, should I just take the soon to be painted piece off? and give it to them? or they will be able to do it? The wheels are Volk GT-V, so its a two piece rim...

 

I don't know the volk diamond black off the top of my head right now, but seeing how my main employer is bankrupt (delta air) and I took a 33% paycut last year, they are asking for 20% more now, I am going to have to step up my powdercoating business real quick! I am currently looking at options for a bigger oven. should have something down real soon.

 

bring them in as they are, and tell them what you want. Its their job to do the rest.

 

thanks, now time to search for a reputable shop... i got a few names, I gotta check on the prices and see some of the work they do, is it hard to find powder the same color as the one volks uses. or atleast very similar to it. Looking for the Gold on the GT-C's

 

now that i think about it, why am i putting these brand spankin new wheels thru this? I think ima ride on em for a bit, and after a year or so, I'll paint em gold... the extra money will go into a lip kit. lol
