Eric (Plug Guy) has a reputation beyond repute

I'll paint 'em for $200. You ship to me, and sign a waiver that you don't care what they look like after 500 miles, and it's done.

Don't shortcut this one man. Just get 'em powdercoated. Sandoval is the man for this one.

I understand that Eric. Just trying to find out how much that is. Sandonval has not responded back about my inquiry yet so I thought in the interm I'd post the question.

Yah...

You know with everything I've been doing to the car over the past 6 months I don't really remember the exact cost.

Yes they are powder coated and they have a "super-shine!"......

They actually look beter than new and will be a little easier to clean.... Sorry the car is still in the shop or I would post a pic on the car....

PM, if you need help.

Depends on your wheels. What do you have, black centers, brushed aluminum? But on a black car, go with a nice bright yellow. Sandoval painted some safety yellow which looked sick. Blk/yellow best combo IMO. Besides, everyone has red. But then again, I am biased. I have an artic silver black wheels and yellow calipers. Where are you located by the way.
