Cool.

I know it would be cheaper to paint them but for $80 a wheel I know that it will last forever.

Samurai too cold to wheel in the snow....lol

I'm putting a full coil suspension in my Samurai and it's taking forever. The bomb dogs are taking up alot of my time. I'll be lucky to have it done to go to Moab in May.

No time for labor here. Easier to have it all done by a pro.

Where is the snow run? Not seeing it in "Events".

I think I've already spent enough money in the last couple of months, everytime I take the checkbook I'm getting the stink eye from the Hubby

I used this in satin black. I put i think 2 or 3 coats of etching primer 3 coats of black and 2 of clear for gloss and extra protection. It came out looking almost like my black truck in color. No problems at all so far. Looks great. Very nice color. I also left the lip chrome. I bought blue painters tape and cut it out with a razor blade. Make sure you clean em really really good. I used simple green and then brake cleaner. I'll post pics when my camera is done chargeing. And it only cost me like 20 bucks. I did all 5. Took me 2 days cause i tested it on the spare the first day. I seriously think this is durable enough.

Powdercoating outlasts paint. Especially if you're wheelin'

Yeah, but you can touch up paint easier......

True.

How much is it going to cost you to paint your wheels?
