I changed my mind and i would like to use a gloss or matte black finish on my MRR GT-1s.
How exactly would this work? Do i get it powder coated or.. painted??
And how much would it cost? (approximately)
please if you would want to snatch some business =/ i live in toronto, so i really just want an approximate price..

Get them powder coated not painted. Paint will chip off the rims. Powder coat is much more durable. Expect to pay $100-200 per wheel for stripping and powder coating.
Here is a shameless link to my powder coated 166's.
