Powder tech. My girlfriends wheels came out amazing and still look great. Mine started pittings and swirling after a few months. Took care of them exactly the way they told me too. It was money wasted. Such poor customer service i dont even care to go back.

Thanks guys, Shes a work in progress.

that stinks, never heard any complaints about their quality, just the ridiculous turn around times. I had a lot of stuff done there and a few sets of wheels and the work was top notch but took long as fuck.

hey where did you get the colored plasti dip from? I’m looking for the anthracite one to see how I like the wheels done before I go buy paint for them.

Yea they told me 1 week for mine and the girls wheels and mine ended up taking over a month. When i called them on it taking so long i got my head bit off.

But i got the dip from dipyourcar.com
