Default Powder Coating...

How much does it usually cost, and what are the steps to prepare a wheel (gsr blade) for the process. I plan on getting my body work done early spring, with a paint job, im really leaning twards GTI Silver (if i cant have one, i might as well have the same color as one, lol its the probly the closest im going 2 get 2 one for right now).

I figure with a silver car i want contrasting rims, and i think black or dark gunmetal blades would look sick. Plus the fact that I already have them, and i want to keep my on going theme of civtegra (Full gsr interior, carpet, dash, steering wheel, engine, blades)...wow...did i just babble that much?

Anywho, opinions would be appreaicated, and mabey even pics of silver like hatches with black or gunmetal rims would be kool. Oh yeah, i dont want rotas right now, i my blades

he told me to get the paint from http://www.eastwoodcompany.com
it will be much cheaper if you do that then pay the shop. i think you need 2 cans for 4 wheels.
