powder coating wheels

Here you go...

Thanks to itrhybrid for the awesome photo for me to mangle.

I think I could go lighter. Let me know if this looks too dark on your monitor.

can you do this one...but every other spoke black?
like the sad photoshop I did in page 1?

Awesome, thanks. I just wish there was a better pic of the car. That silver one with the wheels looks killer.

No problem. The original picture for that silver was excellent quality... on the blue.... not so much

If you have a good pic and know where it's at.... point me in the right direction and I'll do my best to photshop it for ya.

I was actually trying to help you.

by saying you've seen it, but "search is your friend"? interesting approach...

I guess we should assume you know how to do it.

ha, why would you assume i don't? weird.

the bottom line is, if you come on a forum saying 'search', it had better be there to be searched (which it wasn't), otherwise you defeat the purpose of replying like that, or at all. it's easy to spit that out to people, but you really end up coming off in the wrong way and wasting bandwidth when it's not searchable.

on most forums, that type of response is against TOS anyway...for that very reason.

when a user comes on the forum and asks a questions, and i think it's able to be searched, i'll search it, see if it comes up, then reply that it's archived...or can be searched. i won't just blindly say 'search' to anyone as i hate to run the risk of being 'that guy'.

anyway, enough of this crap...

i'd like to get back OT. keep the pshops and stuff coming as it's giving people some ideas! i'll find the ones i had done by a friend....

either that pic doesn't do it justice..or it's a bad idea(nervous)

Hey, thanks for taking the time to do this. I am sure others who aren't posting on here will also appreciate it.

Take your pic...

Officially re-named to the Photoshop thread.

Excellent job cosic.

 

[cosic]

Thanks. You only inspired me to help people when you're not around. And they cut my hours at work for some ****** reason, so most requests, I'll take..

Gold is tough..

I think a color slightly darker than the second but also a little brighter than the third would be perfect.

ummmm... NEVER AGAIN!

new member to this forum.. i frequent the "other" forum though. I thought i'd throw some pictures of my powdercoated wheels on here had them done about 7-8 months ago and love how it changed the look of the car. And sorry for the crappy pictures... if someone wants to see some better ones i'll take them over the weekend and repost

I just picked up a True Red MS3 and i'd LOVE to do that to my rims! (2thumbs)

Anyone know how much powdercoating is and how long it would take to do them at a shop?

The shop i talked to said 60 per wheel and i think two weeks. It must be that long just because that particular shop had a bunch of orders.

Don't do black, the wheels get lost in the wheel wells...it also screams "cheap steel wheels".
