painting rims

[lyle2727]

after looking at my rims my rear rims are good but my front have a little wear on the outside and need them repainted. there factory corvette z06 rims. if i do the front i should do the rear also. is there anybody or any place anyone recommends to do this. i would do it myself but i dont feel like it. i can take the rims in and get the tires off. also any suggestions on the color shoud i keep the the same color or go with black. im getting the hood scoop painted black or getting a vinyl overlay either just black or black with a thin pinstripe the color of my rims. thanks for any suggestions

I'd keep the dark gray and do all 4 at the same time. There are a lot of red camaros out there with black rims. Some look good some don't. I'm for being different. Maybe do a stripe or stripes to match your rims.

I had my tower brace powdercoated from a place in Shelby Township, Michigan. It was a good price and turned out nice. I don't know if you want them painted or powdercoated.

If you go black with the rims, make sure the lip is polished. It looks ghastly otherwise.

Powdercoat will turn out the best and last the longest.
Theres a local powdercoater that usually has a display booth at Autorama !

i was thinking about powder coating. if i can get the same color. if not i will have to go with paint. or different rims would be nice

I have a guy out where i'm at in Hamburg that powder coats. He is doing a finish for me just as he has done on a set up Jay Lenos wheels! No Joke and he is VERY reasonable.. Herb HEB Coating 8102311005

Go to QC Coatings! They are located on 23 Mile just east of Schoenherr in Shelby Township. They do AWESOME work and ask for Bill.
