| Does anyone know of a shop in the 909 that can paint the lip of my rims the same color (Black) as the actual rim?? The lip is nickle chrome, but I want to Black them out... Any help would be great..
Thanks | |

| I know of someone that does powdercoating and since it's just the llips he might charge you cheap, let me know if you're interested in Powdercoating. | |

| you cant just powdercoat the lips, you will have to powder the whole wheel and repaint the face. | |

| ^Why not? He could just mask off the parts he doesnt want powdercoat. I would recommend he get the whole wheel powdercoated though since he will probably charge cheaper. he would probably charge 120-140 for the whole wheel including the barrel but will charge extra to mask parts off. | |

| that sounds weird, when i had mine done, there was a section i couldnt powdercoat,where the lip bolts up to the center, and he masked it off. everything was powdercoated except that section. | |

| My wheels are completely powdercoated. Why could you not powder coat a wheel? | |

Yea they should be able to mask it off. when i had a couple of frames powdercoated, they maskedoff the threads and all the areas where the joints connected with this thick clear green masking stuff http://www.caswellplating.com/powder/powder_tape.htmlA reputable shop should be able to do this. | |

| powder coating is always the best bet and i would just get the entire wheel powdercoated instead of just doing the lip. or you could just paint your lip/rims yourself like i did  | |

| 140 for all 4 wheels? I'd just powdercoat the whole thing so you know it'll match. (: | |
