Spraying Car Rims

[CordiaTurbo]

Hey, I know there was a topic about where to spray car rims before, but I can't seem to locate it, so, if you don't mind, do you know where is a good and affordable place to spray my rims at? I was thinking of a place where they can spray really good white rims (like the volks racing white), recommendations? Thanks.

U can try sending ur set of rims to Hup Shun located in Sunway. It's the same row as Amoil Motorsports & it's the shop with a superbly big FALKEN signboard.

If i'm not mistaken, they r charging RM50 for each rim to be sprayed. As for workmanship, it's very detailed & good job. ;)

gotta remove the rims myself?

just bring ur car and the bling bling. the rest the tyre shop people handle.

when spray paint rim,can it easily come off? when kena too much bump
original colour rims usually powder coated wan rite?

Just remember to wash your rims weekly to maintain the "shine".
I followed this step and my rims still look like new from day 1, no need spraying.

of course!! normally when u send ur car to paint.. de guy will spray a coat of lacquer after de paint job is done.. to give ur car a shiny effect...

i've seen a car in de painting process... b4 de lacquer.. de car look dull.. only de color... but not really shiny... but when spray lacquer liao.. whoa!! damn kilat!!

dat time i send my wira rim covers for spraying white... de guy just sprayed white.. then i ask him y not nice?? he said no lacquer.. then i ask him to spray lacquer.. (gam gam dat time he spraying a car) de results is very shiny n licin... B)

dun worry bout de paint chipping ler... car paint is not like acrylic paint... as long as u dun scratch it or hit it with hard things... then ok... make sure u wax it... more protection mah.. :lol:

Ooo...so if you didn't ask, he wouldn't have sprayed huh? Hmm..on a side topic, any ideas how to remove like, for example if your rims hit the curb and yellow/black curb paint is on your rims, any methods of removal? Thanks.

PS : I have a feeling my car which is painted black isn't laquered, not shiny also :(
