Rim paint...
I'm thinking of painting the darker area of my FXDI Vivid Black stock mag wheels either a primed black or a glossy black just to be different... Anyone done it..?? If so got any pic's..?? I know powder coating would be the way to go... bet that would be big $$$$... What do ya think...??[sm=biker2.gif]

Can't go wrong with black. My powder coater runs black, white and yellow almost everyday so those colrs are pretty cheap. You might want to check around but I have always found powder to be cheaper than paint.

Yep, if you get in on a standard color run, it's pretty cheap. Local coaters here don't do any prep work though. Have to have it completely prepped and cleaned when you drop it off.

RE: Rim paint...
I was thinking of doing mine gloss black rims and hub while retaining the spokes chrome.
It's gonna cost my *** to have them broken down by the dealer then sent off for powdercoating then put back together..... I think I need a second job just for all my projects![:@]

powder coating is very cheap if you go black, your rims should be no more than 100 bucks

RE: Rim paint...
or you could go and buy the HD paint and do it your self. Just do a good job of taping the area that you dont want paint.

RE: Rim paint...
Sorry I didn't get back to you guys sooner... had a few honey do's.. You know how that goes.... geeeezzz... ROADTRAIN I like the totally black rims... actually I like your bike bigtime.... very...NICE... But. I'm going to try the HD paint or rattlecan approach and paint the non chrome areas...pococj do you have any pic's..? Can I paint them now and powdercoat them later if I want to..? I went on line to find powdercoaters in my area and it looks like they just do big jobs.... I guess I don't know if they do small jobs until I ask them... Thanks for the responses all... appreciate it.... mcurry5 hows the retro look comin' along...Pic's please....CYA...Skee[sm=biker2.gif]
