mounted up but i didnt put the brakes back on because after the paint cures for a week i'm going to polish for mirror finish. just had to move the bike outta the way because moms needed her garage back.

powdercoat is expensive i've heard qoutes from 300-450. (people try to say thats too expensive but they havent tried to actually shop for gold powdercoating) this was under 80 bucks. the clear coat is protection enough and i have extra paint to touch up wth

I'd powder them for $80 per wheel for you in gold with a clear topcoat.
