My body-kit guy quoted me RM600 to paint all my rims black - I'm likely going for glossy black, just like my body kits (the aftermarket ones la hehehe). I am being quoted RM600 for that. Is that a good price?

It is not plastidip. The wheels will be painted just like the body panels - glossy and shiny

p/s I will also paint the chrome parts of my old front grille black, that way I can have two designs, the honey-comb and the original grille

It may or may not look something like this facelifted M5

+ black "normal" grille
+ black rims
+ black sidemirrors

need to remove the tyres for respray

Yeah, they can do all that.. all inclusive. is that a good price?

dude.... chrome grill and the stock colored rims already expensive....

why wanna spray it to make it look ricer-ish : /

If u got free time, learn from youtube n do it urself. Gerenti 90% cheaper. Materials n equipment still cheaper

All 4 rims for 600, ok what

He got money. No need to save money it and waste his time.

U taking a BMW and plan to make it like a hipster car with black rim and grille?

ayam rasa cantek

It’s a hobby, even i got bored sometimes n take time to learn new stuff. DIY has some sort of satisfaction to it. It’s not all about saving money

i sprayed mine 200 each

Reasonable price

Can. But why wanna spoil the luxury feel le

rm600 is peanut to you...

why the need to even ask peasants here ?

About that price la. Are you sure they are going to use automotive 2K paint baked in oven, or those damn rattle can spray?

This is a legit question. You don't want the paint to chip after 1000km

dey, glossy black fugly

burnt copper nicer

DIY je la

got one yutup bidyo, how to paint burnt copper
the civic guy

chrome part can just do chrome delete , wrap matte black

if lucky, they use a spray gun.
if unlucky, rustoleum spray can.

600 is a decent price.

I was quoted to fix all 4 rims (dents & whatnot) and paint for RM600.

Malaysia Rustoleum RM26 per can. Samurai RM8 per can. You think which one would be used leh?

buy vinyl wrap ownself diy or hydrodip

this one looks nice, suit your black / orange even more
it's a darker, dark brown looking burnt copper

other burnt copper looks bright, almost orange, those sucks

and then get some very thin vinyl stripes and DIY some pinstriping on the black parts of your aero kits, just to add some accents, gold/dark brown color

Your tummy dah ok?
ke beli lagi?

lul.

if they spray and not baked.
or not powder coated and baked.
forget it.
the paint will chip.
then ts will open thread my wheels are scratching itself.

Paint the rims burnt copper all the way through, but leave only the spokes glossy black

And then and then swap the nuts to burnt titanium blue
Paint the calipers blue oso

Then when you upgrade your ekzos, or at least get a fake tip, get those burnt titanium blue shit oso

Hngggh splurrt

I am going to restore my a set of old school Enkei 3F mesh 14' wheels. DIY with U-Pol self etching primer with Aikka SSR gold paint and Samurak 2K gloss. So far already dumped like RM60 bucks on paint remover!!!

Ask mat rempit spray for u cheaper

After few week the surface will produce bubble

cheaper than buying new set of rims

Sorry, but gloss black is ugly..Go either Carbon Black or Gunmetal

Kanine, why choose same color scheme as mine? Luckily my rims will be gold instead.

is the bmw m5 lci pictured above sporting gloss black or gunmetal? Can't tell.

Do you think the m5 above ugly or not?


Hahaha no way. Anywau BMW GmbH can do whatever they want and they would be right

Can share contact?

Planning on spraying my standard myvi rim also

Roof gonna paint black also?

Hurm, can2. But i will ask the owner first. Maybe i get special price. Just pm me first so i remember to get back to you

That one im not sure. Likely roof and side mirrors will just apply "sticker"... Err whats the word?

Painting seems a little excessive

Im not working without a budget. I will spend as a reward to myself for closing sales. All the body kits installed so far are just rewards. The next mods will be in this order

1. M-perf Body kit DONE
2. Paint the wheels
3. Sticker the side mirror
4. Sticker the top (not sure if I want to do this)

P/s wrap. That's the word i was looking for

Why not gunmetal or some other color

Why must full black

okay laaaa tapi tanya betul they sandblast the wheels first or not like properly spray back put undercoat or something like that, i suggest u to got with dark gun metal.

Dont spray la ... u wanna challenge ah beng aka rice boy izit.

Aiyah just do it yourself la

first...

you need to remove the tyres...but can't do it by yourself at home without the machine

haha

obviously I can't copy the whole look, especially the diffuser and the laser lights, but don't tell me this thing doesnt look good? If now, I guess we just have different tastes







Yeah man. I guess Ill just go for it. DIY is fine for my house (hang tv, hang shoe racks) but for something as important as car tires? Id rather just let them do it for me

personally i prefer matte black rims...bored of chrome rims

Yeah man, chrome anything is more jinjang and ahbeng than black. Black is the new black. Especially piano black!!!

But I am biased~ hahahahaha

Paint as in spray paint? Or powder coating? I think the latter more durable.

ew ugly shit

Hurm not sure. I should probably ask

If you want to keep it sturdy
Powder coating + Oven Bake
last much much longer than painting

How long will this usually take? If it is not worth it I dont want to do, as in I want it to last long. It is original rims afterall... Is RM600 too low?

It looks quite good, but definitely we have different taste, cos i am not a fan of black rim. I just feel something is missing if i look at my car with black rim.

Glossy black for interior is okay.

As for the rims, I think Matt Black looks better on rims over Glossy Black

Back in 2005, my 4 rims did powder coated for RM200

I doubt spray can withstand the heat

New rims now cheap like shit. For 15" though

TBH I think 600 is only for normal painting

Powder coating last much much longer

If u ever had a watch that is coated with pvd coating (black in colour)
then u'll know how long it last

But painting is good enough, as long as the final coating is using 2k and branded (glasurit), all is gud
and tyres have bead/sidewall that goes over the rim, so it protects it

Takut those cheap rims are besi tuang from china, not forge or billet
skali hantam pothole crack liao

Thanks for the info

I am asking my workshop if he will paint or powdercoat it.. yours were put through the over right? mine is 18" with width of 7.5 and 8.5J... if it is a powdercoat and RM600 i think Ill just go for it...

Yeah I think it is only for painting. if the shop offers PC or RM1k I might just take it, we will see for the time being. I want to spend smart, if adding just RM400 and I can get a much better option in the form of PC, why not? Not like I am going to paint it everyday hahaha


Yeah man, for something like wheels and tires, I will not cheapen out.. either RM30k for the BMW 795M or I just powdercoat my 790M wheels.

I can't afford this bad boy. RM30k bro, I can buy a lot of things with that. Here is the BMW 795M in black, on a Sunset Orange car.

Btw, is that matte black or gun... gunsmith? gunmetal?

Dunno but if I know my colours, gunmetal is a bit greyish dark
Not truly black

Hurm, if that is the case, I think piano black will do fine. All bits will be piano black, with sunset orange as the base color of the car
