Legasee Posted October 15, 2005 Share Posted October 15, 2005 Thinking about painting the "center piece" of the 2-piece forged Roja rims (maybe gunmetal or black to go with my silver GT)....just wondering what "type" of painting and how much to expect...and if there is a place within 30 miles of Los Angeles that you recommend...thanks in advance!

Rommel Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I sent my stockers and P1 to be repainted (powder coat). The guy charges $350 for a set. I will let you know how it comes out when I pick it up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rommel Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 You have to bring the wheels only, the price includes sandblasting, painting and clear coating. Dismounting the tires cost about $5-$10 each wheel depending on what shop you take them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw this post and there is another shop in La Habra someone tried to set-up a group buy with. TruWheel is the best place I hear for fixing curb rash. Need to fix one wheel and then get some quotes for powder coating. Still thinking of the best color for Diamond Gray...maybe a shade darker than the gun metal gray the new STI's have. I'm thinking $70 per wheel including removal of tire is a competitive rate right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
