I got too busy to post pics of the center caps on the car but they really made me <3 the wheels. They seemed soo incomplete before.
But they were only on for a short time.... because as you all know winter is right around the corner.
Originally I was going to have the wheels powder coated a nice bronze but the shop that was going to do it was having a hard time finding a powder that looked right.
So i called koehler collision in Winona,
The same place that did the front bumper on the talon, they did a nice, FAST job on that so i figured I would become a repeat customer.
I showed them the pic goodhart posted and they could match it no problem, said it'd be done in a week.
Week goes by, no response I stopped by to check on the progress... NOTHING. They said they couldnt sand blast the previous paint off because it was on there too good. I told them
bs, took my finger nail and CHIPPED off 90% of the plastic coating in 30 minutes sitting in the back of their shop.
They were then willing to try sandblasting now that the wheels were almost completely clean. said it'd be done in a week.
1 weeks goes by... nothing... 2 weeks go buy nothing.... 3 weeks go by I tell them if they are not done by the end of the week I was going to pick the wheels up and take them to the powder coating place down the road.
They
guaranteed that it would be done by the end of the week..
Called on the day it was supposed to be done by, and they hadn't touched them. I told them I was coming to pick them up.
ONE month of my time WASTED..... and i still had to pay them for an hour of their time.
Took the wheels to the powder coater... decided on a black sparkle because he had some in stock, it looked nice and I was tired of waiting...
They were done in 3 days. They had no problem sand blasting at all and only charged $50/wheel out the door.
So I finally got to put my winter tires on
and there is dustin
