Where To Buy Rim Paint?

fukamoto · 03-15-2003, 01:19 AM

Looking to purchase gunmetal paint for my wheels. I went to Lordco and it seems all they have are flat black or grey. Grey didn't turn out too well...*gag*...so, anybody know where I can pick up a few for gunmetal?

Appreciated

Edit: Or any place that will powdercoat them for a reasonable price. I read on a thread : http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show...hreadid=138937

that Benjamin Tang powderocated a set locally for his Type R for $120cad. Any direction wuold be great.

Canadian Tire has the wheel paint by Duplicolor and it comes in a gunmetal type of grey.

I boguht the grey ones and now one half of my car looks real fruity. It turned out in a really disgusting grey..kind of like the grey im typing at the background now!

It's just frustrating not being able to find a nice gunmetal like on the RSX-S.

Automind did a good job on my wheels for 200 flat.

Grey?? Really?? I walked by your car last time and they look gloss black to me, kinda like painted with model paint.

Legacy GT wheels. I'm contemplating bronze or gunmetal. Bronze would be great because I don't like the flashy gold/white. Then again, gunmetal looks very nice with white because its just clean.

Go to Lordco and get their engine enamel. Cast iron is the colour you want.
