Default LS1Tech, please help me out!

I have decided I want to powdercoat my prostars but I'm not sure how that'll look. Will anyone post up pics of cars with prostars on them(really want white but anything should work) and can someone photoshop them to look powdercoated please? I'm also trying to determine how much of the polished lip to leave so opinions will be welcomed and very appreciated as well.

Thank you very much! Those look great and so does your car. Is your's powdercoated? You don't have any problems with the lugnuts cracking or scraping off the black do you? HOw much of the lip do you think I should tape off? I was thinking about either tape off entire lip and just PC the "star" part or maybe take off less lip for the front and more on the rear. Any opinions?

I myself would just powder coat the inner wheel (star) and leave the rest aluminum. You can get a basic idea what they will look like powder coated this way.

For the record that isn't my car in the pics. He is from Ohio and running a turbo and I think he is in the 8s, I don't know if he's a member on here or not. Try searching for a user name Erik@Masport (here is a link to his thread https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...0&page=1&pp=20) he painted his pro stars a while back. He should be able to answer your questions. A guy named Bain on here also did his black. Here is a link to his thread
