black turbines
 

i was thinking about painting my turbines black, should look good on a white 90 gt. whats the best way to do this? do it myself...pay someone to powdercoat...dunno much about this stuff. any ideas or pics would be great

Re: black turbines
 

Eastwood has a home powdercoating kit for 99 bucks for the basic kit.
Here
Plus you can then just buy more powder to do other stuff.

Hope it helps,

wow, thats really cool! only problem is i need an oven large enough for my wheels, and i can't bring them in my house! any other ideas or pics?

Well, you could get them media blasted, then paint (I wouldnt want to hand sand turbines, maybe a chemical stripper?), I would imagine a high temp engine/brake paint would hold.
Yeah, the wheel size could be a problem unless you have a junker oven lying about (My understanding is that you cant use a functional (read food) oven.
I would say the high temp paint or powder coating are your best options for a lasting finish.

VHT makes the Rim/Caliper etching paint that works great. I sandblasted my turbines and painted them black 3 years ago and they still look great and the brake dust has not damaged the finish. I myself think the rims in black on a white can will not look that nice but maybe the gun metal color like on the late model GT's would.

any pics? some people say no to black wheels on white cars, i'm not 100% on it but might look good

There are places here where i live that powder coat rims for 20 bux a piece.

You should call around localy.
