Powder Coating Stock Rims Advice Needed

[mr_beaverhousen]

I have the stock rims and am thinking about powder coating them rather than switching rims. Has anyone done it and have pics to share?

I have ruby red so my go-to color is matte black but open to reasonable suggestions. I like the bronze Method rims but don't think it'll work on the truck and look WRX'ish.

Matte or gloss

I am debating if I should coat mine in gloss or matte. I would love to see some pics of both. What are you getting quoted per wheel?

Care to share the color and how much did you get it done for?

I'm sure the color names will be different everywhere. Place I went to is called Cal Chrome. Color is Competition Graphite. Cost was $800. Found it cheaper elsewhere but they were the only company to offer loaner wheels for a week.

in know some hate this but I plasti dipped mine (popped out the center coved lugs and did it with tires on). I really like it. I keep them clean with armor all extreme. very easy to touch up and it looks great to me.

Actually looks pretty good. Saved a bunch of money too. I rattlecanned my Tacoma wheels black years ago and they held up pretty well.

I was thinking about possibly matching with the fenders and this looks great! I think now it's a matter of gloss black or matching it like you. Just don't think matte black will look as nice on RR. I actually found a place that does it a few blocks from my work so will stop in on Monday for a price quote.

But it took a whole week to do the rims??

Dropped off on Monday and picked up Friday. It's a busy shop. I do know the gray took 2 days. It was a two ply process. 1 day was a gray and bake. Next day was metallic and bake.
