Stuff Powder Coating...
Ok i ended up buying some Super Advan SA3R's for my FC. I LOVE the fitment but the powder coating came out like shit..... and i feel like a over payed.... i was in just such a hurry to get out of stocks........ now i don't know what to do and i'm sick of looking at these mustard colored rims (i wanted gold :icon_no2: ) any idea on what i should do? ANYTHING would help i'm just sick of this....
|
perhaps pics so we can justify it for ourselves?
|
|
mustard... darn, sorry to hear that. :(
|
why the fuck did they powder coat the air valve? You can see they got powder inside it even. Aside from that the powder coating finish doesn't look that bad, but yeah the color isn't exactly what I would accept as Gold.
|
paint your car the same color so it matches.
|
The picture makes it look better than it actually is... in person it looks like crap... i feel like crying over this :((((
|
my paint is pretty much brand new
|
why dont you go back to the powdercoater and talk to them about it, while you are there have them do something with the lips.
|
the guy is off of craigslist... i'm a COMPLETE idiot :///
|
Maybe you could pinstripe the car yellow:Wconfused

have you even talked to him about it? just tell him your not happy with the color, you wanted gold and you got turd yellow, he should have warned you as to what the color looked like- I mean who passes that off as gold? |
Hi there u can call my friend @ Alhambra Tires they do alot of power coating for a couple of my rims came out really clean there #626-281-1139 ask for Jerry the owner tell them BOB sent u from the fourms, hell hook u up
|
Looks like turds to me.:hahaha:
|
Looks like some asshole got an eastwood kit for christmas and practiced on your rims with his moms oven.
I feel for you man, that sucks old man balls. john ny |
Hey don't knock the eastwood kit, its pretty good.
That being said, did he have a sample of what the color would look like? Alot of people (including the ONE job I did for a buddy) have at least one peice of metal for showing the color. My buddy didn't like the Red PC i had. So he paid me to order a color he thought he would like. I tested it, he liked it presto, matching red metal interior parts. You should definatly call the guy, but my guess is you are fucked. Sorry |

mus-TURD yellow

If a guy needs to advertise on CLIST he prolly does poor work.... I would bite the bullet and get them redone by a competent shop.
|
I've got Super Advans, White centres with a white car!
I looked at Gold but Gold powder coat ant any good, get them painted gold on top of the powder, just be careful with them. |
So did he do the silver too? Or did he just mask off the "gold"? Definatly find out exactly what the guy did. Because it can affect how you Un-do it.
The job actually looks decent. I can't see alot of the rim but what i can see looks ok. So maybe the guy isnt'a complete idiot, but just has know clue about gold. Or maybe he is and I don't know wtf I'm saying............. Sooooo............. how much DID you pay? |
judging by the author of the thread laying blame on himself im thinking thats the color he picked out and now he is not happy with it- just let the guy re-do them in a better color.
as for "if they guy is advertising on craigslist, bla bla" people have to start out somewhere and times are tough even for established businesses. People said the same thing about Ebay vendors back in the day, and now how many vendors are making a VERY nice living off Ebay? |
i sold them hahah
