Thinking about a gunmetal or powdercoat for my g35 coupe rims..

Here are a few pics of photoshops...


Comments please ....

 

i like the gunmetal!

 

the first or second? they are different colors i think LOL

 

I like the darker color

 

I agree with Apollos2, the second one is the right choice

 

me 2... never had anything powdercoated gunmetal.... what does it usually run... price wise??

 

i really like pic 1 that is hot!

 

you know what my answer is brotha.

 

the first one is the best man definetely

 

So it looks like everyone so far says go for it...

So do i get them powdercoated or painted LOL ...

 

First of all let me say your car looks great in all (3) pictures. That has been the best implementation of fiber hood I have seen to date.

I like the first the best.

As far as painting versus powdercoat, I am too ignorant to have a opinion on that (trust me on this one).

 

gunmetal looks good, I believe if you wanted to powder coat a set a rims it'd cost you around $360

 

Thanks Hurl3y


Please please talk to me about powdercoating / painting... im all ears

 

go for it...looks good

 

First pic that is gunmetal is best. Powdercoating is better but more expensive.

 

Dues know anywhere in so cal that does powdercoating ...

 

Definitely go with the gunmetal and powder-coated is better. I like the 2nd pic.

 

the first one is the best color, and it coordinates best wih your car

 

Yes, there is a place out my way that has done my grills and I know they do rims. If u want a place ur way, try phone book or online.

 

thanks for all the imput guys... ill will go w/ pic 1...

 

#1 is the better color and switch to progress springs. Those H&R are way tall. Car looks sick man!! Props!

Did you get that front left 1/4 repainted?

Kamski

 

Thanks kamski!!!!!

yes prgoress FTW in the near future LOL.. it looks like im not even lowered... the 40 series tires dont help lol.. but it will look sick w/ my new springs ...

on to the painted 1/4... nope... its the same... still needs to be done but rather spend the $$$ on other stuff right now... it doesnt look tooooo bad in most light

ok ok so im a lil ghetto sometimes hahah

 

PCFTMFW.

I paid under $200 for my set. They bead blasted every inch and coated them inside and out.

They have an awsome texture and if they chip they spray it again free.

I also didn't get them cleared. The powder I picked out (Tiger P5) had a low gloss lusture and I love it.

Love it I say...

 

BTW, I just noticed your Halogen headlights...

Im sorry.


HID 4 XMAS

 

wish i could find something for 200 lol..

i have made 4 phone calls and all places want 80-100 for each and want the rims from 5-9 days

WOW!

 

IM JEWISH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

jk jk hahaha


ya i know.. im not really sure what setup to get...

i heard any 9006 is plug and play ????

find me some nice ones ... i want them to be close to the bmw/lexus look...

pm me w/ details

 

I like the 1st ones look hot,I would go with powdercoatin its very durable than paintin . Paint always chips...

 

Damm $200 thats a great deal, I paid $300 on my bike wheels and thats only 2 rims.. I was thinkin of powdercoatin my stock Se's.

 

KC brings up a good point - what sheen do u want? Gloss, semi gloss, eggshell, flat?

 

semi gloss i guess?

what do u think ? w/ my other cosmetic mods

 

fwiw i say stock.

powder coating isn't cheap and if you're going to spend 500+ on them you're better off selling them and just buying some after markets imo...unless of course you're really dead set on keeping them then throw all the money at them you want

 

Love Picture #3, would look even better with a drop!!!

 

He is dropped...

Wrong sized tires.

 

i vote gunmetal but both look nice. "cough" eibach springs "cough"

 

it wont be eibach... im going to do progress...

it wouldnt be so bad w/ my H&r setup, but my tire size is 40 series and should be 45...

anway... its on my list of things to do .. .just not at this EXACT moment

 

Any luck?

 

No he's not!!!

 

Nothing wrong with EiBach, but at least Progress is another great brand!!!

 

yes i AM! LOL

H&r Springs on Kybgr2's


Buti have a 40 series when i should have a 45 for best look w/ H&r's

 

with price ??? Nope... all want a lot more than i was thinking of spending IE: 400+ 5-9 days of no car...

im now starting to lean towards painting them myself with MANY coats!

But ill keep looking and keep yall posted
