Default Rim Restoration - Curb Rash/Polishing/Powder Coating

got the rims with tires, so off to dismount and disassembly.



horrible curb rash / gouges















curb rash corrected



centers prepped for coating





polishing phase 1 to finished product







dirt and grim on screws to polished screws (NOTE there were 116 screws)



centers were coated with a metallic gold, then clear coated. this adds depth to the color, also making the pearl flakes come alive. clear coat also adds protection.

how much was this job?

trans how much for some 17x7.5 rims with tires on to be dismounted sanded/blasted (they have spray paint now..) some curb repair to all 4 no worse than the rims above and powdered a glossy black or a gunmetal with some pearl or flake?

seeing if buying a set of rims would be worth it..
