Paint flaking off rims
I'm going to see what the dealer says about me driving up there. If they agree then ill drive the 6 hrs to let them do it for nothing. If not, I was thinking about painting them the same color as the car. Not sure how it would look though.
Great info, Cjitty and Greg, I powdercoated my five stars and chose a base color silver they had in the shop. I was satisfied, was hoping for a little darker but I'm done with that now. If you custom order a color, you may want to go non-flake if your looking to keeping it stock, average price here is 50 bones a wheel/slightly more for fancier colors.
The thing with powdercoat is when you see the powder it always looks different then when its heated up and cured on the component, so choose your color carefully. Its actually a fun thing to do though if you find a good shop, might be a two day turn around. The shop I chose was part of race car family and they took care of me, ask to see some work first though, haha. Good luck my friend, it may get overwhelming with all the colors
Sorta like the Matrix movie, do I take the Blue or Red pill?
