If I ever do sell these they will be in the $3K range.. Theres a similar set and the guy is asking $3,500 for them. I have invested approximately $2,500 and that doesnt include my time, which is literally HOURS AND HOURS in polishing, disassembly, driving for parts lol, assembly, and tire mounting which isnt even done. All in all I would say I have about 40 or so hours into them. It took about 4-6 hours for EACH lip to be sanded properly. So needless to say.. Shit aint cheap!!! Plus the powder coat I get the hookup on. So a normal guy/girl that walked into the powder coaters couldnt get the work done that I did...Originally Posted by Ziptied
My good friends work at Smith Powder Coating here in my area. They do amazing work. Needless to say... But they had my barrells and faces media blasted. Then sanded. The barrells were simply cleaned after they got back from the blaster and shot with gloss black. Wasnt too worried about them. The faces were cleaned. Then they were vaccuum primed. After the vaccuum prime thay got a Bengal Silver base coat. After the base coat was baked on and cleaned they then layed the Candy Teal on. I got basically half off of what it would cost someone to get it done this way and it still wasnt cheap. The candy teal powder alone was $75.
But I will have more pics up tonight. I am going to try and finish assembling the other two wheels, if my back allows me to that is.
