Hey all...was wondering if anyone knew of a place that would paint (not powder coat) my stock rims black....needs to be within 40mins of the redmond/bellevue/seattle area.

 

u want Pro Automotive Paint and Clear coat? or u mean Paint can (rattle can paint)?? If u want Pro automotive paint and clear coat.. go Collision spec ask if they will do paint the rims. around 200 buck. Rattle can about 10-20 buck with Paint and clear coat.. So what color u going paint?

 

Queen City Auto Rebuild in Redmond, across the street from Speedware. Ask for Steve & tell him Gary sent you w/ the MR.

 

Second That One, Queen City Auto Rebuild Will Do A Stellar Job.

Thanks guys I will check them out soon .

Hana: going to paint them black

I have all weather tires (Falken ZIEXs) on the enkeis (sitting in my apartment)...currently have on black 5zigen's with the stock yoks on the car....around late november/early december i planned to put back on the stock rims & winter tires so I wanted 'em black by then

 

HA! I only wish I could say the same thing. Very bad experience with them repainting my 2g. If you want to know the looooooooooooong *** story I'll tell it, but I still have to go back again (5th time and I live in Graham) because they didn't finish painting and blending area's I pointed out and the clear coat is peeling yet again (third time for the clear coat). They charged my insurance $7k (had really bad rock chips from one of those nice dump trucks that don't cover their loads, so they painted the whole car)

My guess is if you have an expensive car (Lambo, Porsche, etc) they'll do a great job, but if you take a ride that doesn't cost a fortune they'll throw their beginners at it.

Look around and get quotes. The most expensive is not always the best...mine is case in point.

Joey,
Sorry to hear about that. they painted parts of my MR and did a good job. That certainly sucks. By the way, that custom fiberglass evo gauge panel with the recessed defis looks sooooo sweeeeet on your evo. Been looking for the right gauge panel and gauges for my MR and thinking of doing the same thing with my MR.

Thanks Kevin. And I could just be one of those customers that got really unlucky. Not sure if they have more than that....they do carry a lifetime warranty with the paint, so I'll need to go back. It's taken me a while to go back this time only because they had my vehicle for so long and it is a trek for me. I looked at the work they did and figured, if they are good enough to touch the ultra nice cars then my POS should be fantastic.

As for the panel, I was originally going to go with the Craig Hardy panel, but one of the other guys (Ralph) didn't quite like the way it fit. And one guy in the club said he could do it and make it better.

If you want one just tell me.

Joey
