Haha, i media blasted the rims today. They came out really good, and what a pain in the ass, GM really loaded the old coating on. Not sure how im gunna do the centercaps yet. I have 4 old ones and 4 brand new ones, so its going to be a trial and error type deal. I already fugged on up. lol

Before/after comparison!?

thats just a before shot before i powdercoat em black.. haha youll have to wait

will look cool, gloss black?

 

[AtomicHoe094]

I ordered a Satin black, so its in between gloss and flat. We shall see. I found some kick ass colors like a black basecoat with orange pearl essence in it, it looked sick, but idk if you would even be able to see the orange from a distance.

That orange black mix sounds good but your right it would probably look dark. Cant wait to see it finished!

 

[blueflamed03]

that would really set them off when clean, with a hint of orange.

Powdercoated the rims today, i need to do something with the centercaps obviously. Everything came out really good and im happy with them. so i spent 20 bucks on powder and about 8 hrs worth of work, deff alot better then 400bucks for someone else to do em.
i needa grab some new tires now, any one with a suggestion?
Peace!!




(PS. the centercaps are masked off for paint, lol thats not the real color. haha)
