painting rims/mags

**flat_out** · March 25th, 2007 01:49 PM

adviceable ba, will it last or not worth your money? sagwa na kasi nung mags ko, di bagay sa bagong washover na car ko. off course, mas cool pag bago kaso wala pa budget, nagamit sa pa-hilamos.

thanks.

ALL rims are painted. except for the ones that are chromed. that silver finish on rims is basecoat/clearcoat paint. so no reason a proper paint job will not last.

make sure you prep the wheel properly and thoroughly before you paint it though. get all the stuck-on dirt off and make sure every little nook and cranny has been cleaned and scuffed.

better yet, dalin mo sa paint shop na magaling

Malapit narin hilamos nung sedan namin, kaso ayaw na sana naming gastusan pa rims kasi luma naman na, parang di na sulit. What if may mga malalim lalim na tama? Kaya na ba ng paint shop ito, o kelangan mas specialized pa kung meron man?

sa specialized na ata dapat dalhin yun... why not upgrade you rims and buy a new set nalang

just playing devil's advocate

If I need to have my mags repaintedd, I'll probably go to Promaster:

pwedeng pwede... basta remove the tyres b4 painting... linisin ng maigi... use dish washing soap para matanggal ng maigi yung oil and dirts... kung malaki na ang tama or may mga cracks na dapat siguro palitan na.

thanks sa replies...

dalhin ko na mamaya sa paint shop, anu color suggestion nyo? marino blue (parang metallic light blue) yung pizza ko. orig color ng mags ay parang silver/chrome yata. siguro ganun na lang ulit.

ingatan ko na lang siguro pag na flat tyre ako, baka masira paint dun sa may lip ng rim pag nagpa-vulcanize.

:cool01:

mga bro, any idea on how much it would cost to have my rims metal polished/restored here? may konting sugat lang naman yung lips ng dalawang mags. tsaka wala ba may alam kung meron sa south area ang rim restoration/polishing?
