Has anyone here restored their stock rims?

[harleyreb1]

THe paint is peeling off mine and I'm fixing to repaint them anyone happen to have done this or have them powdercoated?

Yup, after much fighting with UPS, they paid out. The wheels were sent back to AL where he had a wheel guy set them straight and then he re-powdercoated them. They came out awesome and doesn't even look like anything ever happened!

Any pics with the center caps on, looks great. Is it a little darker than stock?

Color is right on. Turn around was about 5 days including shipping.

 

[svt2205]

Al asked what color. Do you have the color code he used. Hey, email me at [email protected] if you would

Or maybe you gave him the codes you listed above. Not sure.

Thanks

$300 is an excellent deal and the outcome is awesome on those wheels!

 

[martyo]

Man, those wheels look great.

 

[Vib_93]

What kind of prep do they do to powder coat the factory wheels? I am very interested!

 

[93Cobra#2771]

$300 is pretty reasonable, methinks...

Looks nice, gonna do the same with mine eventually. Previous owner had just had them "refinished" when I bought the car about 15 months ago. Now the paint is peeling off around the edges.
