No, youre right, you're probably the first one to ever do that to your car. And besides weren't you the one that wanted to buy my wheels from me like 2 months ago? Don't be a homo I'm just playing man, I don't care what you do with your car. Stripping the factory powder coating is a pain in the ass. The shop I took the to said it would take about an hour per wheel. I recommend www.consolidatedstripping.com/ in Plainwell. They were very helpful and gave me a brake on price because they know how much of a pain stripping powder coat is. Take a snack and your Ipod. Hey Feek, do you have enough property to put tents up? I was just thinking if this party goes all night it would be good for people to not have to worry about the drive home. Just a thought.

The people that want to powder coat wheels.....the picture of the wheel is mine, all i did was sand blast them. i also did my valve cover which all i took was some 120 grit SP and scuffed it up. It doesn't take alot to make the powder coat stick. You will be extremely satisfied with the way the turn out if you do the super wet gloss black. Just telling everyone if the have access to a sand blaster use that instead of paying someone. Just trying to save you a little money. Travis

Just a thought. ha alright, well if it makes you feel any better your car looks way better than mine anyway. So do you think that I can strip them myself at home? My dad as a sand blaster at work that he's going to bring home and give a try. But either way order up that real glossy black powder coat and get me on the reservation list and ill bring the money for it and some beer and food for the meet. See everyone there!

You might be able to do it at home. The factory powder coat color looks very close to the actual color of the metal it self. While blasting the powder coat will look as if its burning off in a way. I spent quite a bit of time making sure I had every little speck of powder coat removed from the face and the back of each rim. I was seeking perfection and I think they turned out well.

Anyone else down for camping? We might, but we're not good at planning, so we probably wont decide until the day before or the day of.

Just a friendly reminder, I'm ordering powder coat on wednesday, so get your order in now if you want a part coated. I have lots of super wet black and a fair amount of flat black in the list, any others. Let me know before wednesday.

Yea, you can go ahead and scratch my order. A sudden lack of funds has forced me to sell the wheels.
