Poweder Coated Rims

[Robertsbrock]

Hey their while on the thought of doing something to the car,, Like alot of people in this country im not made of money so i carnt go and grab a nice set of rims for my ride, and the stock rims on the car arnt looking that bad so iv had the though of powder coating the rims a whole different colour like maybe a gray or a black or soemthing that will suit my car . I have a mate and his old man ownes a powdercoating joint and i can get the whole 5 rims done for 100$ what yas think???

[Alesia]

wat colour is your car?

[Commando]

$100 sounds like you can't go wrong (with regards to value).

Although, 1) what car do you have, 2) what rims do you have, 3) what colour is the car? Pics will help

[Alesia]

definatly need pics before a proper judgement can be made

Just a quick one robertsbrock, is your car a red Brock EA? There used to be one in Horsham and it's fuckin' mint as, I used to see it every week near a smash repair place along with an ED XR8 on FR18 simmons and a white/grey SVO-style X-series ute of some sort.

Post up some pics of your car and get someone to photoshop it with the different coloured wheels, could look ok, depends on the wheels though. Heck, if it's in Horsham (my car's living in Ararat) I might even get the AJR's done a darker grey in the centre if it's only $100

its a silver eb fairmont ghia.

wheels are here

i think any other colour than silver will look shit being the whole care is silver.
and being they are already polished i don't see the point.
but 100 bux is **** all for the powder coating even if it is mates rates.

[Alesia]

yeah i wouldnt powder coat those ones i think it would make them look tacky

[oneredED]

If you have to do it, do the centres a medium shade of grey, but leave the outer parts polished. Will look a little like a BBS rim and could look ok.

I'd leave them as is/just polish the fark out of them. Grey/black would look hobo as with your silver EB

[Robertsbrock]

yeha i was thinking about powdercoating them black on the inside and silver on the outside , or something along those lines , im just thinking of different shit to do . And their is 2 red brock fords crusin around horsham still , id have to say their are at least 30 EA - ED fords around here which are kinda done up , but this place is chocka block full of fords.

pics, pics, pics, pics, pics

[Robertsbrock]

give me till tommorow and ill do some photoshopping , and wolf put a pic of me car up a couple of posts ago

[oneredED]

Ok, I've done a photoshop. I'm shit at photoshop, so it's crap but you get the idea.



Doesn't look much different I guess

[wicksy]

theres a VE GTS in mackay with powdercoated wheels in black it looks horn

[braiden]

With powdercoating, you are restricted a bit more than paint. I used to be a powdercoater so if anyone is interested, I'll explain how it works.

Not sure if it would look good. It might, might not.For 100 bucks I suppose you can't go wrong.

Nothing wrong with grey wheels on silver cars!

But those style, yeah I'm not too sure

[Robertsbrock]

Just lookin at that photoshop of the bloke did of the rims i really like them , then when the cars droppet on its arse it will look horn.

[EdFairmontGhia]

reckon your mates dad ca offer that $100 special to the rest of the club if anyone else is interested?

[sphell]

I would keep the 100 and leave it like it is.

[Stengord]

What is horn? Its been mentioned a couple of times!

Polish the spokes, chrome is win

[serial_fool]

How does polishing them make them chrome?
