Slimpsy1647545505 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Hey all. . . I'm wanting to have my camaro wheels repainted to match the body color. . . I don't have the resources or space to do it myself or I would. . but as you can see the wheels have faded over the years. . . is anyone on here willing to do this for me , if so, how much? Or do you know any shops that will do this for me? Thanks -Will http://pic20.picturetrail.com/VOL1469/5630295/16593732/256940910.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck531 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 How much do they charge per wheel? I was debating on getting mine stripped and re-clear coated. Mine are looking like ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slimpsy1647545505 Posted June 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 thanks, i'll check em out. . . i was quoted by a body shop to respray all of them for 200. . . because other than the fade they are in perfect condition. . . so I really just need the wheels taped off and sprayed with a body match paint and then clear coated.

mseebs Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 One of my buddies is doing mine black. I just gave him $50 and paid for materials. I'd do it myself but like you said, I just don't have the time or space. It's pretty simple from what I understand though. Sand them down, primer, paint, and clear coat. With time to dry in between most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotboost Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I'm not sure how nice of a paint job you are looking to get on them, but I repainted my stock wheels for the winter and they turned out great. They were on my car for about 4-5 months, through salt/snow/rain and they havnt chipped or faded yet. I used very fine sand paper to sand each wheel down to where you couldnt see any color before, used 2 coats of wheel paint and a clear coat and they turned out awesome! The job took about 2-3 hours to do, and was actually fun. I'm sure if you went to a paint shop and gave them the code they could make you a wheel paint for the color you want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAudiMike Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 Anybody that has questions about wheel medic please call this week office # is 299-9866 ask for Mike. Regular retail pricing is at http://www.wheelmedic.com but I will see what I can do about CR pricing if there is enough interest. We do have For a quality job, the wheels need to be media blasted to the bare casting and primed/painted. Black powdercoat is the least expensive way to go, but we can basically do any liquid color with a powder clear as well. PS Mods, I will have an ad banner and payment ready on monday or tuesday.

I know you said call, but I'm not . Is it extra just to paint the spokes? For example.. I want to have my stock rims painted like this: http://i85.photobucket.com/albums/k79/Cully77/Buckblack.jpg Spokes only being painted (and the center cap). Is it cheaper to powder coat? I don't really want to spend $500 to get the wheels done. I'd rather just get a new set of rims for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverAudiMike Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 It should be possible to coat the entire wheel and then machine the outer lip on those wheels for regular refinish price. Looking at the picture, im not sure if we could machine down where the lip dips between the spokes, Bryce will have to take a look at the picture. I DO have several stamped cards good for commercial pricing left from the QSL car show for anyone trying to get work done this month.
