Changing color of my wheels?

[autronicDSM]

What's the best way to black out my wheels? I have BBS RX which are cast, painted, clear coated. Do I just have them media blasted and painted black or is powder coating better? I want something that won't fade.

Powder coating is the best way to do it. But its more expensive.

Here's another vote for powdercoating.

Powder coat is less likely to Scratch, Chip or Peel.
I say powder coat them too, cause paint usually looks like crap after a few months

its not that expensive. I was quoted $425 for my 19"s and that was w/media blasting.

Yes, powdercoating is the best way to go. However, I have painted two sets of wheels with spray paint, and as long as you prep them good, they turn out just fine for a lot cheaper.

I used Duplicolor Wheel spray paint. Worked really well. Turned out great. Sanding was a major pain....... then changing my mind after and sanding it down again to repaint a different color was the worst thing ever.
But they held up great, sold them after a year and the new owner never re painted them yet (maybe 1.5 yr total?)

Find a local powdercoating shop in your area.

I'll try powder coating again. I had one wheel welded before from hitting a pothole and cracking and it was powder coated afterwards, unfortunately it faded. Should they be clear coated too? Personally I have never seen clear coat on a powder coated part.

Thanks for all the replies.
