Lol that could be a good and a bad thing :p
I'm Jared btw. I'm one of the youngsters on this forum ;)
I'll ask my painter maybe tomorrow if he could knock out my bar and lugs for a cool price.

Have at it, I've noticed that painters usually screw customers over more than powdercoaters... Now, wheel painters vs powdercoaters charge about the same
Just something I've noticed, it's weird

Would a normal body shop be able to knock out a PC job, or would i need to find a specific spot to get this done if that were to be the route I chose. I may be wrong, but I cant really see this being anymore than a $100 job.

No, paint and powdercoating are 2 totally different things.


And I'd be surprised if a normal paint place charges $100 to do the cross beam and the lugs, if they do, take it, if not, keep me posted!

The orange is powdercoated and the blue is hand painted on with a pinstripers brush. The same guy does both PC and stripping.

I talked to one guy that did my dads truck and he said about $100 for the bar, and $60 for the lugs. I just have to leave the car at home for a few days while everything is drying and such. I probably cant do it this week because I'm getting a custom built harness bar and my seats installed so that will take a better part of the week and then as soon as thats done, I'm going to my friends shop to redo the sound system and have a couple other goodies installed. ahhh this car takes all my money :ughdance:
lol

That blue really makes the orange pop. Do you remember how much it was to do your lugs? I have the 40th anniversary wheels so I wouldnt want to paint those.

HAHA! You said nipple...

$60 for the lugs sounds reasonable. I dont have a set price, everything to include the strut bar with the painted graphics came out to $650.

who did you have do the PC and pinstripping? looks good. i want black wheels and red pin stripping
