Got my babies powder coated!!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

marlondog · 04-18-2012, 10:57 PM

I got tired of having mustard gold wheels, so I decided to get them powder coated flat black. Some guy on craigslist offered his services for a lot lower than most shops. I took a chance and glad I did. If any of u are interested, give chris a call at:562-810-2078

Damn, that looked sharp in mustard gold, and it looks good in black too!

Nice choice.

Are those advans wheels ?

marlondog · 04-19-2012, 02:38 AM

I liked them gold too, but wanted them black. They're Yokohama Advan Kreuzers xii wheels.

Very nice! The finish turned out great.

cali yaris · 04-19-2012, 10:24 AM

That's a satin or "solar black", not flat, just to be clear.

Looks great! I need to hit Chris up if he's reasonable!

How do you know, guru garm? LOL. I thought it was more satin than flat. He definitely did a good job, and gave me an offer I couldn't refuse. You will not regret it, guru garm.

I'm considering powdercoating mine too, if I keep them

Nice, but I think I perfer the gold as it works well with your graphics.

Peel the gold off now and go stealth.

That was what I wanted to do, but I have grown fond of the vinyl graphics. I'm just gonna paint the brake calipers gold, and add some gold refllective tape to the inside of the wheel. If that doesn't work, I will just leave the gold lug nuts on.

I gotta be honest man...I liked the gold better.

But it doesn't look that bad.

1.5 · 04-21-2012, 08:17 AM

Youre right that looks a lot better but I would get rid of that big gold banner now too.

Gold was better, and that's the truth. Black isn't as flashy, and a lot easier to keep clean. I will eventually get a set of gold rims, so I'm holding on to the gold banner for now.

marlondog · 04-21-2012, 11:05 PM

I could always paint the banner flat black too.

1.5 · 04-22-2012, 12:53 PM

doooo eeeeetttt

marlondog · 05-16-2012, 02:03 PM

Took off the banner, and dropped it an inch more. I think I'm gonna bring it back up a little. I regret taking the banner off, but it is what it is.
