My 30th wheels need to be repainted and i was wondering who around here would be able to do such a thing. They are basically a normal WS6 wheel that is polished and has a blue clearcoat on them. Looking for a general price range here as i don’t wanna buy new factory wheels. I’m also looking into buying some c6 z06 wheels and having them painted the same as factory. Any help is greatly appreciated. ![http://chris-b.org/pr0nstar/c6z06.jpg](http://chris-b.org/pr0nstar/c6z06.jpg) ---

If you buy the paint I would try it just to see if it comes out. You got nothing to lose if it doesn’t you had to have them redone anyway. But I am pretty confident I could do it. ---

Painting wheels is easy, just like everything else, it’s all in the prep work. ---

> [@MPD47](#): > > Painting wheels is easy, just like everything else, it’s all in the prep work. thats the thing i am a mechanic not a painter. thats why i am asking if anyone has any kind of experience with this or knows of a shop that can do this. all it is is a polished aluminum wheel with blue tinted clearcoat on it. ---
