If you reff on the bolts the washes after time will dig into the coating. Yes polished can be coated, that is what the red and blue wheels were. Polished then coated.

tmac20031 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 How does yamaha paint the rims on the new special editions that are black. Dont they use powder? if not, what do they use? It obviously works well or they wouldnt use black rims. What will hold up better than powder or is it true that powder will hold up just fine?

okbeast Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 I guess if they could die the steel black or somethin it'd be better, but otherwise I think PC is the way to go :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

okbeast Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 Yak, I hate the gold colored rims I have. I'm gonna get 'em sandblasted and PC'd black to match the new frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaotik1 Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 This is the only black wheel I had on hand. I will try to get a gloss black one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4everwantedbanshee Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 yeah thats the gold. not exact to the old school rims but i still like it. i always liked the old school kid. i dont know why. i think it is becuase when i was a little kid i saw a 250r with gold rims and i love the look. u said 25 each for the 4 rims right. what if the rims are already polished. would the price be cheaper.

ClimbAnyHill Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 This dot com has a gallery of their work. You can call for a quote.

kaotik1 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 All depends. I have heard of some shops asking for the person having the work done to bring things preped, and ready for coating, asking $300 for a single color. The shop I work for we do all the sandblasting, tape work, plugging, and what not in house. We get about $200-300(size of frame) for a single color(I.E. black, blue red, green... ) For two stage colors(trans, chrome clear, candy colors) those are around $350-450(size of frame) My 1998 frame is a two stage Vein blue (for sale) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
