Can I powdercoat my rims to this?

Sorry but powder coating your rims will not turn your Z into a Maserati. I bet if you had a good powder coater you could get close. Just powder coat

Use rim tape for the red. I'm just not sure how straight the lines will come out between the black and silver. They may lose definition when baking.

He never said it would. I am assuming he is using it for reference.

LOL I know that, dude. I'm referring to the rims.



Anyone have any pics of something similar? I am really digging the red, silver, black combo. Rims in OP are FIRE.
