Hell yea, exactly what I was looking for. I'm looking to get all four of my rims painted gunmetal, leaving the outer lip how it is. Think you can do that? How much you think that would cost me? Example of what I want attached. In the picture I oly colored the spokes and center but I want everything but the outer lip powdercoated that gunmetal color.

Depends on the amount of prep work for those wheels. first off.. is that center cap metal or plastic. if it's plastic it can't be powder coated because you can't electrify plastic.. Second is that already a powder coated finish on there to start with? if so it's going t be rather easy to powder coat becaue you are able to powder coat on top of powder coating & would not have to blast the wheel.

Now, if that center cap is metal & the current finish on the wheels is not a powder coated finish. Were going to have to do a hell of a taping job because the blasting process is pretty intensse & we don't want to blast through the tape!!

Worst case $50 per wheel
Best case $25 per wheel

Yea the centercap is plastic......damnit. The current finish is powdercoated Opal, stock from factory. I guess since I can't paint the centercaps I won't do it cause it'll look crappy as hell. That sucks, thanks anywayz.

Your only other option if you want to try anyways would be after they are powder coated to take the wheels to a paint store & see if you can get the color matched with a spray bomb & u could do your center caps that way.. but idk if i would trust that coz paint comes off to easy..

If anyone else out there interested in getting some stuff powder coated let me know.
