I PM’d you back. FYI GENERALLY SPEAKING: $20-45+ a wheel to blast. Painted wheels = $20 side. OEM stubborn ass powder coated wheels = $45 side. I dont do the actually blasting, I bring it to a local pro. $55+ a wheel to prime, base coat, clear. Basecoat is autobody quality paint. Can be mixed to OEM codes, custom, what ever. Simple Ford Ranger silver is like $50 a pint (minus stabilizer) Lexus metallic base, almost triple that. It all depends. Thats about it, rough ball park for up to a 18". 20’s+ price goes up to have them blasted and a bit more for paint/labor too. Keep in mind, this is not rattle can junk. Call a NAPA and ask for a pint of etching primer and activator, pint of basecoat, qt of reducer/stabilizer, pint of spot panel clear and hardener. $100+ in paint materials alone, and thats cutting it close. Only way I get to charge this low for a price, is I have a shit ton of materials, gallons of primer ($220 a can), gallons of clear ($100+) hardeners at $15-30 ea. so I dont waste materials on each job. ---

They are slow as shit for small jobs. understandably, they make a living shooting big projects, not $300 in wheels. (actually making about $200 - materials/labor) But that is about right. Powder is cheap materials wise. about $12 will coat a large wheel. Its sandblast time to strip, prep and having an oven large enough, and controlling the temps well enough to do it professionally and make money at it. Which they do on frames, chassis’, etc, projects paying a lot more then a set of wheels. ---

Jims wheels took longer than that and they fucked him on the price. Said one thing and upon delivery tried to charge him 35% more than original price. My uncle sent bike wheels there and over a month later they hadnt moved from the shelf, and he took them back. I sent bike wheels there and they took well over 3 weeks. Boxes of little parts for bikes, (like I said I understand why profit wise) took a month. Ill just stop there, but I have plenty more examples. Win some and loose some I guess. ---

for the accent on the spoke, you should just use vinyl. cheap, easy to replace, easy to remove when you dont like it. ---
