MS3 Powder Coat+Tint

[cageyvet]

Got the wheels powder coated a couple of weeks ago for free at work. Made sure i lubicrated the edges of the wheels with grease to make sure they weren't chipped up when the tires were put back on. Btw, this car is a beating on tires. Got the windows tinted 35% front two and 18% for the rear ones.

Love it and welcome. Any further plans?

At the moment I really don't have anything planned for the appearance of the car. I'm spending my money on performance mods @ the moment. Looking to upgrade BOV and intercooler next. Just got my MS CAI, installed yesterday afternoon (pain in the butt).

if you didnt catch the 1200 threads about the cars moldings, you can pull them off on a mild day without a problem. makes the car look sleeker in my opinion. if you check the 350z and the new lexus IS they come without side moldings and look a hell of a lot better than if they had them. seriously...how often do you find a dent at the side moldings? its not even the farthest out part of the car. thats just an appearance mod that you can do for free. unless you feel like giving me a destination fee for the idea of someone elses idea. whatever tho.

Wheels look good but you should have painted the center caps. Also, ditch the chrome lugs for some Rays.

Really sweet looking, about how much does a powder coat normally run for the rims being done??

 

[cageyvet]

I don't know how much a place would charge you to get it done. I know the materials are dirt cheap. If I had to pay I wouldn't pay more than $150 considering the cost of the materials plus the labor and time involved. You also have to keep in mind you have to pay to have the tires taken off, put back on, and rotated. Thanks for the compliments everyone.

The only guaranteed way to be secure is to unplug the network cable and power cable. We can discuss this further in a new thread so we don't mess up this one.

Nice pics, makes me want an MS3 to powercoat it's rims.
