Wow, havent been on the forums for a while. hows everyone.

Well.......my question is

What color should i powder coat them, they're currently hypersilver and i hate the color, but i got them off a member here so i didnt have a choice.

Im thinking gloss black or matte black, another ideas are welcome...

And also.... does anyone know if i have to get them blasted before powdercoating? Because my friend said if they need to be blasted there would be extra charge.

Thanks.

Your wheels will need to be chemically stripped/etched before they are powder coated. Cost should be around $100-200 per wheel for stripping/etching/powder coating.

What color is your car?
