Where to get wheels painted?

nikosaur · 07-31-2014, 02:54 PM

Recently picked up a used set of black VMRs. Due to the curbing and a different finish on 1 of the wheels, I wanted to get them all painted. I'd rather not drop $400+ for PCing and was wondering if anyone knew of a place that paints wheels and a ballpark price figure.

Sand paper and rattle can take your time it will turn out great

I just dipped my wheels, slight curb rash - looks amazing. I would recommend looking into it, easy to do, great results if you prep properly.

I have an orbital sander if you want to get rid of the curb rash before painting.

I've used plasti dip before but wasn't a fan of the look. I want to go with a high gloss black this time around and the plastidip glossifier does no good.

You can also google "awrs" and find the closest franchisee for Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists. I'm trying to find the time to have the MoCo guy try and repair the hideous curb rash my wife just put on my wheels.

I'll try and post some pics and a review when I get it done.
