SEEVERS Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Is it possible to powdercoat gold wheels silver? Does it work? As I think I seen on another thread that it couldnt be done.
jcscoob Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Dont know m8, but im am intrested in the answer as i may end up with gold wheels when i need silver ! Good question !!
wrxmania Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Not sure - I have heard that some wheels don't take very well to powdercoating - but then again many people get it done. Also depends if the cost is worthwhile or if you can get the same wheels in silver already for the extra amount. Brian
oobster Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Mind that bloke from up north (i forget his name - he's an RO) got his wheels done in Pink - and i'm sure they were gold STI wheels before. Might be worthwhile dropping him a PM to ask, if you know his name!!!
johnnyr6 Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Yes it's possible, any wheel can be changed to any colour...if done correctly. Try ESP in glasgow, very good at what they do.
dipsy Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Who every powder coats them .Would shotblast them first to change the colour thats what i think
jcscoob Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 I think dipsy has a good plan, a quik blast first then a coat ! But im sure the folk that do it would keep you/me right .
dipsy Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 Have a look on www.jp-coatech.com .They powder coat wheels different colours there in Carnoustie
dan_jess Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 The wheels would be dipped and stripped of ther original paint anyway
terminator Posted January 7, 2006 Posted January 7, 2006 The wheels are blasted back to the bare alloy so the colour you choose can be done,some coaters do chrome paint if thats your thing.
SEEVERS Posted January 7, 2006 Author Posted January 7, 2006 Terminator....i ask about 1 set of wheels that some thought were a bit chavvy and the next thing you know....you've got me decked out in chrome wheels,burberry tracky and lacoste slip ons...LOL Seriously though i'm wanting to buy Gumball's wheels and change them to hyper-silver,just wanted to make sure it could be done.
