Default Restoring my Mugen RNR wheels

These wheels are bad. Very bad. They were originally white but someone decided to spray paint them. It looked OK when I bought them, but that wasn't for long. So I decided to get them powdercoated. I'm bringing them to my powdercoater today who is my sponsor, here are the before pictures.

All work is being done by Tranceologist Powder Coating in Spring Hill, Florida. Pm me if you want his number, he does GREAT work.

BEFORE








BRING STRIPPED




STRIPPED AND SANDBLASTED



FINAL PRODUCT






being mounted and balanced



On the car, shitty pics for now. Better ones soon.

Nice turnout but I would have went with another color because your car is already a dark color.

Well I'm sponsored by a powdercoater, Tranceologist so my price is different than yours, but he charges $58 a wheel for solid colors. He can be reached at 813-770-8540.

Looks good!........I'm actually getting my rnr's powdercoated next week aslo. Except mine were originaly black with a red lip and the previous owner sprayed the red stripe black. Now I'm going to strip the black off them and have them powdercoated white. Hopefully they come out as good as yours.

Honestly, I was between choosing white and black also. I think the white would of looked good on my car, but I wasn't ready to clean the brake dust everyday, so that's why I did a dark colored wheel. Make sure the prepping is done correctly. Strip them down to bare aluminum. They should come out excellent.
