How much will it run you ??

Its $135 per 19 inch wheel.

I'm holding off for now as I have some other expenses coming up. Spent about $500 on tools this weekend and I need to budget another 1000 or so for tires, so I need to cool it with Z mods :)

Damn that's expensive, I would just buy the air intake now instead of painting my wheels lolz

Your not driving a dodge neon. There are plenty of kids that paint there dodge neon stocks or even hub caps. Please dont allow yourself to stoop that low when you own a 370z. I get so sad thinking about that. But ohh well. I guess thats all you can do since that car payment has you strapped for cash. But to each its own. Better luck next time. LOL I just had to laugh to myself one last time. Painting your stocks! WOW LOL!!
:facepalm:
Seriously, are you just going around trying to bash m4a1mustang, did he hurt you in some way?

hey steve.. I got my nismos powdercoated by a guy over in waldorf for $85 a wheel. He does it as a side business, and does really good work. If you want his number just PM me. I called every shop in this area... about 8. They were all over 135-150 a wheel. ASCO said the only gunmetal they have is an "argento", which I honestly didn't think looked right. You will probably have to stick with black if you use my source... I chose Satin black, which is pretty much the color of tony's wheels. He has some dark grays and black chromes though.

$85-$100 a wheel is much more typical. You have to also consider prep though. The $85 probably doesn't include blasting the wheels, just a scuff and coat. That isn't a HUGE deal on wheels in good condition, but blasting will give a better bond.

Once I get setup powdercoating, I'll likely charge premium members here $100 per wheel with blasting included, just to give you an idea :tup:

Powder Buy The Pound | Powder Coating Equipment and Supplies

Find your color here and ask the guy if he can order it, or if he will do them in a color if you supply the powder...he should be more than willing.

definitely impressive price then. That is probably 4-6 hours of labor for 4 wheels being blasted, prep'd, and coated.

yeah I know right? I think it's because it isn't his main source of income. All the other places I called were powdercoating shops.. so that's all they do. Plus in this area everything is stupidly overpriced.

well, mine is going to be a second source of income as well, but I won't be giving it away :rofl2: :icon18:
