wow! if I were living in your area I probably would make them brand new ;)
I was thinking putting a bit of white wheel paint on them... but will it remove the powdercoat effect if I do that?

Yeah as far as the finish goes, NOBODY would notice it unless they knew that they were painted, so that should last you for quite a while, but after long enough, you just have to realize when you NEED the get the powdercoating redone.

I found a better deal. :)
$!40 for prep and powder, and it's closer to home, so that's a hells yeah to saving money on gas. LOL Pics up on Thursday the 14th. GLOSS Black. Shiny and smooth is the key here.

I don''t appreciate ignorant people. One of the powderoaters thought that i had brought in a different set of wheels to get powdercoated gloss black but no, mine won't be done until Tuesday at the earliest.
