i was just wondering if anyone know where i can get my wheels painted. My wheels are currently chromed and i was looking to get them spayed

gunmetal grey. Ive done most of the mods myself and contemplated painting it myself also but im too chicken to go ahead with it.

Any suggestion would be appreciated

cheers

Thanks for your suggestion mate but I was looking for somewhere located in Melbourne.

i suggest powder coating, a cheaper alternative to painting your rims.

mansutti bros in tottenham (melbourne west)

Powder coating is cheaper for a reason...the quality of the finish and powder coat tends to fade fairly quickly,esp on brighter colors.

Ace Alloy wheels 22 McBeth st Braeside...painted $150 per wheel as opposed to $50 per wheel powder coating.

Powercoating is ftw. Though yes, it does fade over time. Such is life. Then.. round 2 powerdercoating.. different colour?

did some research on google, its all about the prep work!! the better the prep the better the out come. the sanding and cleaning took longer than the actual painting

Like ascendant rice said, its all about the prep. Make sure everything is as smooth as possible, wetsand the wheels so the paint have a surface to adhere to. Prime and paint with your choice of colour.

Acrylic is easy to use, the acrylic clear coat is a little hard to get right though.
