Im thinking about powder coating my stock white wheels gunmetal but i cant find any pics of that. Anyone with a link or pics of cw type r with the gunmetals wheels on it, please post. How much does a good powder coating job cost? Thanks!

 

dont joke..here's an old pic of my R..

 

Joke?

 

why dont you just find another R owner or just any one that has the gunmetal R wheels and do a straight trade, your cw's for their gunmetal ?

 

check my sign

 

yeah, better off finding someone who is willing to trade or sell...

here are some good photos of gun metal wheels to help you decide what you want to do.

 

I dont think it would be a fair trade if i traded my wheels for gunmetals. My rims are scratched up and chipped and im also trying to get the gunmetals in perfect shape. I will just find a place to get them done. Thanks for the pics!

 

Damn, you used aircraft paint remover? Nice job on the paint.

is that what it is?

 

One more question... Do I just get the paint code from Acura to tell the shop? I want the exact gunmetal that the stock r wheels are. Thanks!

 

 

more!

 

trade your whites + cash for the GM. It's going to coast alot more $$ to powder coat them.

 

smitdog has gunmetal wheels on his '98. i forget hot he painted them but they look nice. if u im him he will prolly give u some pics

should be around $50 per rim, maybe cheaper since they don't have to tape anything off.

 

does that price include sandblasting too?

That is pretty hardcore right there. Stripping them over paper towels on your carpet...
