hi, bump for pictures, i do not want to spend 140 dollars to get my wheels dismounted, then mounted again, if the end job is garbage, although white would be nice, lol

its metal coaters website, they will post the best pictures on there, (already viewed them )and not what they screwed up, I want pictures from some of the guys here, so i can know exactly what they look like, from what i understand, a member already had a problem and had to take them back, i don,t have the time to be going back and forth, I have a set of adv-1 wheels and no way i want them screwed up, thanks for your help, now i,ll just wait for somebody to let me know how their wheels turned out

Sorry about that then. In that case, I suggest you go elsewhere for your powdercoat cause it might not be perfect based on some reviews I've read elsewhere.

Good Color choice. Glad you enjoy his work. He's not perfect but for that price, you can afford to change up your rims every few years for the cost that some places charge just for one.

Plus they do hold up - regardless of what some might say...

i'm sorry, i am so disappointed w/ the work.. the valve stem area wasn't coated properly and the powder came off on the edge of the rim already... i tho it's suppose to be strong? i'm not bringing it back.. i'm going else where to get it done properly.

edit: i'm sorry if i got some of you into this.. i hope others turned out much better than mine..

hi, i contacted quys powdercoating in brampton, everyone i talk to says he is amazing, but it is more expensive, i,m taking my wheels to him, if you want we can meet up by his place and discuss price, maybe if we have two people, he might give us a better deal

I want to go in person first, get everything in writing and have him sign it, if there is a problem, small claim,s court, I want white so there should be no problem with colour being wrong hopefully, but before i pull the trigger myself, i will make sure he is legit

i'm sure you are definiately going to have to pay ALOT more when you use Quy. Brightside is not going to be as cheap as metalcoaters either

can anyone post pics?

Well lesson learn.. I tho it would be a cheap decent job since they are industrial base company and do mass coatings. I really dont mind to pay abit more for a proper job that shows passion and pride in their work. I'm contacting Brightside.. Pm for infos

all 4 of them are like this. this is much better than the first time i picked them up.. i figure the valve stems are gonna cover it anyways so i let it go like this... for a $200 job


but when i got home i saw this... i was so disappointed


:S


i'm not sure what it is.. some surface feels like 'dust on wet paint'

maybe i'm expecting too much for a $200 job?? what do u guys think?
