Black powdercoated Weld Draglights

[**CHRIS**]

I'm considering having this done to my wheels. I could get them done for $30 a wheel.

The question is:

Do I leave the center caps shiny (non-powdercoated) or get them done too?

Two quick photoshops..

First: non-powdercoated center caps.

Second...the whole deal powdercoated:

Needs some white birdshit on your hood.

Personally Id take that $120 and get the Ambassator's special at Macos.

chris when i was going to do my notch.i was thinking of doing the same thing..but i was going to get the rim an centers blacked out but use chrome lug nuts on the wheels that way it breaks up the black some what.

If you saw how many trees are in my yard you would know that there is already some white birdshit on the hood.... and the roof...and the trunk...

I hate birds.

You might want to reconsider powder coating wheels after you read this, just a FYI:

Don't do eet.

1) I don't like the all black wheels OR the silver center caps.
2) I wouldn't powdercoat, but rather paint, the wheels IF I were to do something like this.

I like the all black primer / Mad Max look on almost anything except a yugo. :lol:

[Ford DNA]

I don't like either one. :(

[**CHRIS**]

After seeing the pics this morning I've decided to not do it... But the flat black stays. :D

If I ever do paint it, it will be flat black again..just not Krylon spray can...

[95coBraSVT]

... But the flat black stays. :D

:crack:

[MiDiablo]

I def agree w/the Flat Black staying. I think that you can buy an actual Flat Black paint and then you have to actually use a semi-gloss clear coat or something. I remember them doing a write-up about it in a Hot Rod magazine that I used to get...

Look at Markiewitz's car. Not sure how it was done, but it's NICE. Actually, I'm going to be seeing them this weekend if you want to know what paint and clear it is.

Yeah, thanks Amanda.. I'm actually very familiar with Bryan's car... he keeps it at the baller shop. I don't go up there much anymore since my Dad sold his Super Gas car but I've seen that car about 40 times..along with his yellow Mustang which is getting big Pro-Line power with twins....

I definitely like how his was done and the little airbrush details really make it awesome.
:thumbup:

[95coBraSVT]

I like the paint...but those back tires are obviously too big. Their lifting the front ones off the ground! LMAO! :tard:

:lol: Your a fucking riot dude!!!:lol:

[Strokd85]

black with chrome/silver lip.. however on the flat black scheme, it doesn't look right.. on a "glossy" car the right color it'd look nice..

[Suicidal Racing]

heres one with chrome centers and lugs

when ever i find a notch that i like i will be painting it the same color and do a all primer black hood on it

A coupe I spotted tonight on Mafia Motorsports site:

I don't know why so many people don't like this look, I really do.

[GNs-r-slow]

That looks decent on that car / color. Black on black is too much for my taste. Someone posted a white car a while back that had black wheels and lettering that was bad ass.

What he said

[ruler]

after seeing your car boogie you could paint em pink and it would look boss.

[KAILUAZ]

Even the F-bomb Camaro (http://www.hotrod.com/projectbuild/hrdp_0703_project_f_bomb_chassis_build/index.html)is too glossy. Either use the real deal military paint (http://www.armyjeepparts.com/order_page/paint_bottom_1.htm) or at least hot rod flatz (http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/ksflatz.aspx)

I just don't like the black wheels on a flat black car. Looks cheap. :(
