powdercoating my C2s... should i? - Honda Prelude Forum

masamune · 06-26-2002, 07:41 AM

well when i saw mae's LE37Ks i was stunned by how damn good it looked, and was thinking about powdercoating my C2s black or gunmetal with my lip left silver, but i thought i wasnt able to do it cuz i have the 1pc wheels. But it happens that at the socal meet i found it it is possible to do it, and after seeing kevins car i have even more incentive to do it. So im wonder what you guys think should i do it? do you think it would look good in that style with the C2s?

i just dig dark rims..especially all blacked out ones. i think it'll look dope on you'rs..black car on black rims have always pulled it off nicely IMO. how much for the powder coating?

Nice photoshopping. Kudos to you. Definately powdercoat them. They'll look so sweet. Have you gotten any quotes? Let us know.

ooh i like the 2nd one the best, i believe kevin got his done for 30 bucks a wheel, his is a 3pc and he took them apart b4 he did it tho, but im guessing no more than 50 bucks a wheel, to do it... very good job on the pshop JTOWN

i did it for 30/rim because i only did the center section.
it'd be about 40/rim if you did the whole rim though.
