I posted a couple of weeks back about needing powder coating for my rims. but now I have decided to have them painted instead. I am in orlando, Waterford Lakes area. were is a good place to have them done. I have the center caps and they are peeling as well. so I dont know if they would paint them as well. any information would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Wesley

I will have to do that. I called the guys up at the powder coating shop. but I dont know much about powdercoating. will it look the same as basically it came from the factory? or will it not look that way. that is the look I want to achieve. a nice dark grey. I will give them another call on monday.
thanks again for the info.

Z06 rims just the stock color. 2k1 rims were darker gray. so that is what I would like. the rims have a little bit of curb rash on one of the rims. plus a few scratches. not to big.
