Depends how picky you are but Les Scwab powder coats wheels pretty cheap and does a pretty good job, I had my powerwagon wheels done a couple of years a go for @ $40 ea. Many colors

Can't do $40 ea. That's how much it cost me to have all four sand blasted![:0] A nice coat of rattle can black will work well for me. I spray painted my entire race tractor with some metalic blue I got from NAPA and it looks like I used a spray gun!quote:Originally posted by 0horgan

A pin stripe can be applied quite easy to a painted UNBENT wheel. Eastwood sells lettering and striping brushes. A small long haired "camel hair" brush will work. Get some of the "one shot" lettering enamal. Bolt your wheel on the rear of your car, with both rear wheels in the air, start the engine, put in low gear at idle, the wheel will turn slowly and you can apply the paint filled brush lightly to the wheel and make a perfect line with little error. I have striped several wheels that way. Just don't tell anyone how easy it is, I can't make any money if everyone knows my secret.

Well, I just got my rims back from the sand blasters. They are out in the garage drying from their frist coat of prep all. Next is going to be primer and then a couple coats of black. They should look really good.[8D][
