So i recently got my anthracite fr500's the color seems a bit "plain to me" since there is no clear coat or shine. Do you guys think i could find a shop to paint them hypercoated? and do it right? i was going to call around friday to shops. who should i call repair shops? Thanks.

americanmuscle says hypercoating is "the process of painting a wheel, polishing it, and then applying a metallic clear coat finish".

probably be easier to find a powdercoating place

it can be done. paint shops, specialty paint shops, body shops

yea thats what i was thinking is powdercoating. I read somewhere on wheel HQ that they powdercoat them black and then highly polish them.

how much does a powder coat cost? i wanna do my truck rims since the chrome is peeling...i figured i would take them off and put the stockers on and clean them up w/ a wheel my self..

when i sold my old mazda rims the guy said he was going to powdercoat them and it was gonna be about $80 a rim.

zporta

now does he have 2 prep it or what?

twilson1918

yea im sure you'll have to sand them down and prep them. is there paint on them already?

zporta

no there is peeling chrome...
