Painting a Alloy Rim. Pricing Please..

Post by Mulisha »

Hey guys

I have just taken my rims down to get acid dipped to remove the clear coating off my rims and then polished and now it's almost time to get the painted..

I'll attach a picture of the rims but i was quoted today $100 a rim to be painted in between the aloy spokes in 2pac in either candy apple red or Gloss black.

In the picture you will see gun metal gray in between the spokes that what is going to be re painted in either the candy apple red or the black...

Is $100 a rim for this to be done to much?

Thanks for any help the rim is 15x8

Cheers

Rick.

Enamel them yourself. A brush will do it. Don't laugh, if you're careful you can make it look perfect.
This is not legal advice.

Actually for a candy apple affect that is pretty cheap. ;) Doing candy apples & 3 layer pearls aren't a 5 minute job.
