powdercoated my wheels last night....

[Fury_786]

before: paint over teh factory silver powder...looked okay for about a week, then faded. chipped off badly and just didnt shine....








After: powder coated black, awesome shine, tough, new red trim.

Those look sick!!! how much did that cost??

[Fury_786]

free lol i do it myself

took about $40 worth of stripper and 3 hours to clean the paint/powder off of the wheels before i started shooting powder

[Y2KPewterSS]

The wheels look good


Do you have access to any color powders you want?

[Fury_786]

I can order pretty much anything...ive even done chrome

heres some pics of some stuff ive done










and i forgot it cost me $70 to get them dismounted/remounted/balanced

[SteveCZ28]

how did you do the calipers..i was curious bout doing mine. cuz the red caliper paint fades too fast. did you just tear the caliper down to nothing, meaning popping all seals and everything out of them, powder, bake and re assemble or what?

[Fury_786]

nope...you can bake them with all seals in...the brakes see WAY over 400* so its oven safe

now, for more pics

was thinking about doing mine with the blue used on the 99 anniv. t/a and put it on my c6 zo6 wheels on a white car. not sure if it will look good or not.

[Fury_786]

whatever you do DONT paint wheels!

it fades, chips, looks like hell after a while. do it the right way and get someone to powdercoat them.

[SteveCZ28]

i did my wheels last year in hyper black, which is i believe a 98% reflection rating...im still very pleased with how they turned out, and still look to this day

is it difficult to master? And is it something that the everyday joe can learn and do in his home?

[Fury_786]

its really not that complicated, the hardest part is learning how to prep parts correctly and temperatures/bake times

[LETHALxLS1]

I somehow missed this thread before. Dude-those wheels are very cool looking. How did you achieve the red stripe? I really like how you left the very outer edge black then came in a little before you put the red stripe-sweet. Now come over here and polish my helmet!

[Fury_786]

thanks mang....they were a PITA and ill never do another set that I have to strip.


anyhow, the pinstripe is hand laid by me and the maxwhacks, it was a bitch also, but really sets the wheelz off.

i dont offer helmet polishing services but, ill give you maxwhacks' number

[third_shift|studios]

i think i might ship my engine to you an just let you have at it!

[Fury_786]

i get on powdercoating rants sometimes...im working on the LS1 that im sticking in my '51 pickup now.

[2fast2blegal]

how would it look if you powder coated the Stock ABS rims? srry to steal the thread

[Fury_786]

honestly dont know...im sure way better than stock. what color were you thinking
about? since the stockers are factory powdercoated
