Im planning on getting rid of the plastidip on my wheels and putting some permenant black paint on it. I called some power coating places but their wanting to much money... so what is the best kind of paint I can get so I can do it myself? I'll be using a gun to shoot it, just need some heat and brake dust resistant paint.

There are places that sell wheel paint specifically. Might check with Palace Auto Supply in Norman.

Anywhere from $65-$80 a wheel, I figured it would be alot cheaper since their only 17" and no chrome

I've called about every powdercoating place around... the cheapest I could actually find was $200 for all 4. Where did you get that done at Matt?

How is the wheel paint holding up? I still want mine black but wasn't crazy about the plasti dip.

I loved the black wheels, but plastidip and lots of mud just didn't mix well.

Yeah plastidip is pissing me off now. It is peeling all over now and I'm getting sick of having to touch them up.

Morgan, you need to paint your wheels black again, it looks so much better that way

200 for all four i think would be worth doing, that way you know it will hold up, and you already know you want them black so its not like your taking a gamble on rather or not you will like them when you get them Back
