Painting Wheels

Hey guys I'm really interested in putting new wheels on the GT. I really like the look of a yellow car with black rims. I was wondering if you guys know anything about painting rims. I was thinking it would maybe save some money but the most important thing is the look. If you guys know anything about this your input would be appreciated. Thanks, Keith.

How about powdercoating? I've seen some ponies that look sharp with it.

Powdercoating is not that bad nowadays. Summit Tool Catalog has a nice powdercoat gun and the different powdercoat colors pretty reasonable. The problem I have is finding an oven to bake the part in when I'm done. I don't even want to see the look on my ol' lady's face when she comes home with a roast and finds traction bars in the oven at 375 for two hours! lmao

Just make sure it's an electric oven and not GAS.

If the power coating become an expensive option, try looking at AmericanMuscle.com for some rims

There rims are fairly priced with no shipping charges.

Good point Fro. He could get some nice wheels for less than powdercoating.

I don't know really. What I'm seeing, there's two places in Texas that will do cleaning, prep, and, powdercoating for eighty dollars a wheel. I'm sure he can find something where he lives. There's a place in Arkansas that does it in their pizza restaurant to make good use of the oven. They just don't do wheels between noon and two if you can live with the occaisional anchovie on your wheel. Be a big hit with the cats in your neighborhood!
