Powder Coating...
Has anyone here powder coated there stock rims?? If so any pics...
My stock rims are pretty rough and i was considering getting them rechromed, but i don't want to dismiss the ideal of getting them powdercoated either.
As usual any feedback is appreciated

If I remember right, someone on here got their rims powdercoated Mag Red to match the car and had some pics of them mounted. I don't recall any follow-up after they were mounted though. I know some others have had theirs done in black. Hopefully they'll chime in and have some pics for ya.

I've seen Dan's car and wheels. My comment is his black Vette (Batmobile) IS very tough looking. The powder coated rims caught my eye right of way -- very sharp.
(hey Dan, I forgot to ask you if you had them coated someplace locally???)

powercoat chrome
my stock z06 rims are powercoated "chrome". when i went to Motomotion in Medina, Ohio to get my stock rims polished, they asked me about chrome powercoating. this is a dead ringer for conventional chrome, but it has a very, very slight smoke tint to it (when compared next to chrome) - looks great on my black z06.
