alright, i have some questions about powder coating, im very new t this so gimme a break :/

first of all i have the stock bbs rims that come with the evo x mr, and i was wondering if i could powder coat those greyish/black. I have seen people powder coat the stock gsr rims but im uncertain about the MR BBS rims. im not sure if the rims have to be a certain material or not, so please help me out guys!

in your honest opinion, would you do it if you were in my position? i have a Phantom Black Evo X mr.



thanks!

 

yes they can be powder coated

 

you think they would look good?

 

all depends on what you want, black on black looks good. but i like a lil more contrast than that. i would do a gunmetal...

 

I think the stock "chome-y" silver on the MR looks right at home with black.

I am actually surprise no one change the cap to red, it would look sick in my opinion.

Gunmetal on with red BBS cap will look sick in my opinion.

Not an evo, but you get the idea.

 

powdercoating is the way to go...it is extremely durable and permanately bonds to the surface you apply it to. I have a set of black powdercoated rims and they are 2+yrs old and look brand new

 

damn, nice. what equipment would i need. i know i need a heatgun or oven of some sort. hah
and how much would all the proper equipment cost me.

if its too much im gonna look for a shop around here to do it lol

 

go to a professional shop as it takes special materials and a high temp oven to bake the powedercoat on for at least a day or two

 

love bbs lm

 

alright, time to look for a shop around Northern VA.

I've been looking for a place to tint my windows but its hard to find places with good prices lol

 

Aren't they already a greyish/black? I don't remember the color really. Yeah PC em up! :-)

 

a home oven can bake powdercoat at 400* in twenty minutes....

 

what normal person can powdercoat in their own house and then bake a rim in their oven??? not too many people can or would want to do that...IMO

 

you can buy a old oven at a garage sale and do it in your shop... but i wouldnt in my home either. im just sayin, its only gotta be 400* and only twenty minutes.... or untill you can see the powder get really glossy and smooth, around 20 minutes

 

lets just say if this were to be done would it work.... baking your rim aka powdercoat ... a house oven at 400 degrees in 20 mins....
