Where Can I get rims sent to be painted to match my car? I have been looking and trying to figure out if this can be done. I am having my car painted Championship white and want the rims to match the paint job. Is the "Powder Coating"??? Or just rim painting??
Thanks for the help

 

Your garage probably....

 

Profesional show they look good

 

Just have the place that's painting your car paint your wheels at the same time.

 

Is that ok? to use body paint on the wheels?? Don't I need them to be "Powder Coated" You don't think the wheels would be to shiney if the body shop painted them?

 

if you want to powdercoat your wheels, look in the yellow pages under powdercoating. down here in south florida it costs around $75/wheel. that doesnt not include if they have to sandblast the wheel, that would be an additional approx. $25/wheel

 

What do you guys recommend. Power Coating or Painting? There is an article in Aug 2002 Sport Compact Car ( Vol 14 P. 103) where a S2000 had its rims painted the same color of the car. They look great

 

No, you don't need to have them powdercoated. And if you really want the wheels to be the same color, you'd want to have them painted with automotive paint. I'm not sure what you're going for though. You say you want them the same color, yet you don't want them shiny? So you just want a flat white?

 

I guess I have never looked at rims close enough to tell if shiney rims look bad. I have the body shop installing my JDm front end and painting the whole car. I want to get white rims but a lot of people say the shade of white is off from Championship white. Therefore I was thinking of painting the rims CW so they match the car. Anyone done this. painted there rims?? I'd love to see some painted rims.

 

I have had rims painted to match my car and I have also had rims powdercoated. If you want the white to be exactly like the color of your car, then get them painted. If you don't want them to be shiny, get them powdercoated. Having had both, I have to say that the painted rims held up better than the powdercoated ones. It was also cheaper to get the rims painted.

 

How did they look the painted ones? Have pictures? Also did they just use the same paint as they do on the car. (PPG paint etc)

Thanks
