You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

Powdercoating done right is stronger than paint

Interesting. I have heard the opposite. Powdercoating is cheaper so you'd think it'd be not as good

Nah its about the same in strength and finish etc

however what a lot of people don't know is with powdercoating alloy wheels you need more heat to bake the powder so if its say an alloy wheel you coat you can actually alter the properties in the wheel if its been heat treated when it was made. I was heading towards powdercoating for the BBS's until I found this out and went paint, stays in the low bake over @ around 60 degrees instead of the 200+ powdercoating needs

So many mixed opinions with the powder coat vs painting

these are the rims: (not sure what they're made out of)

http://www.vertiniwh...agic-silver.htm

Would you guys suggest powder coated or painted for em?? I want to go matte black

also have to be careful not to have the rims sandblasted...

soda blasting is better if you can get it done

this too, sandblasting pits the wheels and makes it really hard to get a flat finish, soda blasting is good as an alternative

but the best is to sand the rims down by hand going through different grits of sandpaper

Or just buy new ones in non-gay colours

haha i would have if I could have, but all of the super rs's are silver that i found

^ lol

Yeah I wanted these in black but found them cheap

Nick where did you get your BBS's painted and how much?

my old panelshop at mates rates, was cheap so you wouldn't get that price

with 4 door moulds, 2 front bar moulds (all 6 had to be hi-filled as well) 4 door handles and the 4 rim centers and rim caps was $400

wouldn't spray paint the exterior/body panels now would you...

its the engine bay, its going to get scratched chipped f**ked up etc.

no need to spend big bucks painting it.
