Painting/powdercoating wheels
My 6ULs are looking sort of assy. I don't clean them enough and most of the time they have way too much brake nastiness all over them and the car looks like ****. I drive for two weeks after cleaning them and they're all ugly again. I have the silvers and they always look like they're mostly black. shitty black.
do i have any options for powdercoating or painting my wheels? i want them to be ultra-flat black, the color of brake dust. I want something durable. I don't want it to chip or flake off and look even worse. DIY or shop technique is fiene. And yes, I know it will add weight.

Examples of non-warranteeable conditions:
Powder Coating any portion of the wheel

They will make them just like new. I don't know which store is closest, but at the Dallas store it is $100/Ea if there is no damage, and $125/Ea if they need to fix and powder them.
They can do flat black (no clear coat)
or "brilliant" black
These were both done at the store in Dallas, where I used to work and my wife still works. Both cars are ours.

I could spray them with Hotrod flat black at the shop for you if you want. basically just scuff them down and shoot em. I'd have to ask what it would cost though It would be way less than 100 a wheel like powdercoat
