turbovr6jetta 05-15-2007 08:00 PM

over all it wouldnt be worth spending 150 per rim to paint

well you can always do it yourself, buy high grade automotive paint stripper, primer, paint, clear coat. it'll end up costing you about $120 all together

You have to strip them unless you want it to look like absolute trash.

When I did mine, I dismounted the tires and took the rims into a metal cleaning place and they acid dipped them for $80, then primer, paint and clear coat cost me in total about $150~

I got my rims professionally powder coated by a recommended guy.. he did an AMAZING job !! He fixxed all the rash on them as well, and I got to pick from like 200 colors... I got a custom gunmetal with bronze and a clear coat.. It took a while for them to get done because they were done propa but they came back lookin WAYYY better then I could of ever imagined. I paid 300 bucks for all 4.. PM me if you want contact info... this guy does not **** around he backs up his work and is DAMN good at what he does.
