heres roughly what i want it to look like…

should i paint them?

I would. A paint job is only as good as the prep work though. Take your time and it’ll turn out nice.

Do it up,paint it black like the rolling stones.

i know of a guy who would powder coat them for like $100 for all 4 rims… he does excellent rims… i say powder coat them… just my $0.02

hmm i like the sound of this…

yea it will look like shit unless u powdercoat it

alright i think im gonna do it…

one of the rims has curb scratches on it… not sure if that makes any differance…

al if you need a hand let me know.

well, i got $100, but do i need to get them sandblasted as well?
and how long does painting/drying usually take?

thanks rob, ill let you know if i do.
