Mags Re-Sprayed

[Ronshizel]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a good place to get mags resprayed? Found a place in Petone called Bodyworks that will charge around $70 per rim.

Any panel shop will do it, much cheaper if you do the prep work your self, paint stripper and an orbital sander work wonders

[Scoobydoo]

I have a tin of paint stripper, should you want it.

[Ronshizel]

Hi,

Im going to get them powder coated by chulozumo. Also checking how much it will costs to soda blast them. If its a lot i will sand them myself and happily pay to use some of that paint stripper thanks. Also i was wondering if anyone had some axel stands i could borrow to jack the car up? Would be very grateful.

Thanks.

Ah you can just have the paint stripper, I have no use for it any more, I used it for basically the same thing on my old car

na its cheaper to get it sand blasted and powder coated... my mate in the hutt can arrange it for you

i got some photos of it somewhere... he got his BBS sandblasted and powder coated gloss black

sorry thats the photo i got for now

[Stoffa]

how much is soda blasting?

[X]

the soda blaster guy are the same guy that sand blaster his rims... i dont know the price... but it was pretty cheap. best to ask Jamie himself

[chulozumo]

Soda blasting is pretty cheap, rang up a few months ago, $50 for a full set or brake calipers, 2x intake manifolds and a bunch of other stuff. havnt actually done it yet though.

Sand blasting my wheels cost me $100 up at steam and sand in kenepuru a year ago.

Want to try soda blasting now though as its non abrasive.

Is anyone else wanting things stripped/coated by me ? Can try an arrange to do everything at once .

oh shid! hes still alive! hahah

That black looks nice San.

Be very careful powder coating forged alloys like BBS...

They don't take kindly to mis-application of heat.

[Scoobydoo]

Yes, that point has been raised many times before. Personally, I would err on the side of caution and get forged monoblock wheels painted rather than powder coated.

But that's just me.

We will never do them again. Weve had two cases with them,

1. Worker tried to strip them in acid, left them in there for a day. came back and they were gone!

2. Brothers friend wanted his forged wheels done regardless of what he was told, put them on the car drove down the road, nek minit, snapped the spokes clean off, f***** the axle which then went into the wall/gaurd LOL. he then tried to blame my brother.

I also emailed Rays / Volk wheels or what ever about it 6 months ago, asking what they do/ weather its painted or powder coated / what they would recommend. Buttt they never got back to me D:

Hey X, is Jamie the one that does the coating? or does he get them done by some one else? Any clue as to where he works/ gets them done? Will probably know them...

[X]

Na he get the guy down the road to do it for him. Someone in upper hutt

Yep. His wheels hasn't fallen off yet. Jamie is a engineer and know s*** loads about metals. Don't think he's stupid enough to do it to wheel without looking into it before hand

But then I witness another engineer shaving off 2kg of a factory flywheel which we all laugh about. But it seems to work for the owner and seem to be going ok

How does one know what is forged and not..eg my DTM 99s?

[chulozumo]

I think they should say it on the wheel some where? Probably on the inside

That's pretty useless of them.

BBS generally powder coat their cast wheels and paint their forged ones.

Sometimes they are stamped "forged", often on the inside

Otherwise try contacting the distributor or manufacturer ?

Unless its some shonky outfit like Rays above who b=never replay.
