if you have autozone over there
they have a gunmetal color they call graphite its called wheel paint.

What I did on my old fd is sanded the mazda logo off of the centercap and then painted the caps with that paint and it will match your powdercoating perfect then have the shop apply a clearcoat to it

They look fantastic. Can't wait to see them on the car.

 

Here's a set that I had done a while ago.

Near-chrome.

 

some paint will react poorly with the center caps.

I have seen a few bubble from some sort of reaction.

 

75 a wheel aint bad. place in sf charges over 125 each wheel.

 

That DOES look damn good

 

Mines $250 for the set of 4.

 

Here's gunmetal on another set of rims.

 

Well when you're addicted to powder you get a discount!!

I think you sold your first born for all your coating that was done!!

Does the near chrome color have a specific maker? ( What brand powder)

 

Batman is a powder addict.

Dave, I think I'm going to go for Kumho Ecstas...I hear they're great track tires, but are decent all arounders...plus they're cheap...a good thing with what's coming up this weekend, huh?

 

Near chrome is made by Cardinal.

 

Got any pics of any of the rest of the stuff you've powder coated?

 

i want to see pics of the wheels on the car man.They look pretty damn nice.
I was thinking something.Would it be possible to powdercoat the wheels in anthracite and then polish the lip? Probably not but you never know

 

there is a thread of my engine bay that has wrinkle black powder coat for that "factory" finish.

It's great for these phrases:

"Why gee officer, it's totally stock."

"Nope, I have a stock engine." *some guy with a Z06 is scratching his head*

 

Cool..cool..

As far as powder-coating and then polishing, I'm sure it's very possible, although I don't think a polished lip on these rims looks that great..but that's just my own personal taste. I like it all one color..hehe...stealth-like.

 

Well here is a quick chop of the wheel on the car.

 

I'm not a big fan of polished rims unless it's a multi-piece DUB.

Polished rims make the rim look smaller.

I remember when I had my stock rims done in black and people thought that they were 17's.

Especially when I glossed up the tire walls.....

 

I've got black powdercoated rims on mine.

 

can someone chop those rims onto a black fd or batman got any bigger pics of your fd? Thanks guys

 

looks very good

 

 

Thanks Batman..Gorgeous car

 

Woot, thanks for the Chop..hehe. I guess I'll have to wait a bit more..gotta buy tires like I said. I've already went down to the garage way too many times to gawk at them, than you're supposed to.

 

oh man. that looks so good. i want to paint my wheels black. how much did it cost you?

 

heres mine...
