What kind of wheels you want to paint and how well do you want them done? My friend does his pretty bad ass and he does it with a can of spray paint...Lol.

lol, see...I thought about mickey mousing it and using a rattle can but I sat and thought about it, these are brand new wheels and I dont know if I could bear it if I totally fuck them up.

Spray Glo Duluth did Pauls wheels on 2 cars so far. Both sets came out amazing. Call Ed up there at 770.476.7048 and tell him Brett asked you to call, that gets you my pricing

I'll give'em a call....$115 a wheel from Metro seems a bit steep...so I hope Spray Glo isnt that high....I guess I will find out tomorrow.

Don't quote me on that price. Call them and ask for a price yourself...cuz I'm really not sure that's accurate...

like I said before, I cant bring myself to fuck up brand new wheels...if I knew that I could do it without it looking really shitty, then I'd give it a shot, but as I've seen how alot of rattle can jobs turn out from everyone else....I'd rather not. Just want to get them done right and not have to fool with them again.

If you're going a solid color, just powedercoat them.

They'll sandblast them no matter how you bring them. May as well have fun, first.

Paint = $
Powdercoat = $$$

When I priced for mine, powedercoating was going to be about half the price. I had to go with paint though since I only did the lip. Powdercoaters only wanted to do one solid color on the whole wheel. Of course that is done professionally, not out of a can. It's my car, it has to look finished or I just won't be happy.

Sprayglo did mine and they were freaking awesome, color match is perfect ;) but it will run you approx 400-500 for the full set of wheels... due to prep they can paint 2 cars for what it takes to do a set of wheels... mine were 19x9.5 so if you got smaller wheels w/ less prep it could cost less... :goodjob:

I saw your car down kimball bridge not too long ago, threw up a peace sign but forgot you sold it.....


But i know a guy out in roswell that would paint and polish wheels for $100 a wheel....this is if they were damaged so he might give a cheaper price if there brand new and not 3pc wheels
