PowederCoat Simulation on wheels

[dj short-e]

First i want to thank all the guys and girls from APC for making yesterday fun.. and inviting me out to have my car in the booth.

Sandee, Scott, Mike, Kim, Casey. Thank You.

Im looking in to getting my wheels and Engine Cover powder coated by APC in chatsworth. I was in there booth yesterday and they are ALL very cool people. I'm looking forward to working with them but i wanted to post some "simulated pictures" of the color on the wheels before i actually did it. Im sure the powder coating will looks ALOT better than my simulation. I just wanted to know what people thought.

Opinions?

so you just want the inside of the spokes to get powdercoated red? i'd think that would look sick and flow really well with your color scheme you've got. maybe even get some red calipers to.

ps...i just received a phone call from a manager at northrop. looks like i'm moving up in the world!:wave:

[dj short-e]

[Budha]

only if its on a completly FREE sponsorship.. otherwise it's $95 a wheel and i still wanna do my engine cover

well, of course. that would be a waste of money to just powdercoat the inside of the spokes for $95 a wheel. but if its free, powdercoat your whole car!

I like it.....of course I am partial to powder coating....LOL!!! Not going to give an opinion on the price...but keep this in mind. There is a decent amount of prep that has to go into each wheel before its coated...and unless they have a custom masking cover for your wheel, there will be LOTS of tedious taping. But I still say do it!! :D

Thats ok, i dont have to do any of the work! :)

[JustAtC]

but that means you've got to roll around on the stock wheels until you get yours back.

[Soul3xplor]

that is sick man. i say go do it!!!

[xX EL HeFFe Xx]

Im for it...YES in my book!!!

im gonna put my stocks back on for awhile anyways for now and just put them on for shows.. i dont wanna wear out the tires (more) and mess up the wheels driving to work everyday.

[Viet_teKniks]

those rims are sweet and i think u should powdercoat them

[Mr. Frost]

yep..i like it...red is my color scheme..with the powdercoating on the inside..it wont be overkill with the red
