Painting tires

[VolksGLI]

So I'm looking to have my wheels painted. Was wondering if anyone knew any good, trustworthy places that charge a fair price.

Re: Painting tires

I think it is better to remove the tires on all accounts. Do a search, there is a mobile guy that comes highly rated. You will also find many reasons not to go to Alberta wheel repair.

Nah I have heard terrible things about that place. I think they charge $250 to paint a wheel, may as well get new wheels for that price.

$400 for all 4 sounds like a great deal thanks Rico I'm gonna give them a look see.

Re: Painting tires

I had 4 wheels done at AWR, they did them is a reasonable time for $120 a wheel. There is also the mobile guy:

I got my wheels repainted at Alberta Wheel Repair and have no complaints. Turn around was quick and price was reasonable.

Re: Painting tires

just do it yourself, i recently did mine and they came out great

here is a link that you can use as a guideline, the paint they used is very durable and even stronger if you bake it:

Re: Painting tires

Wow those actually turned out pretty good. I have been thinking about redoing the rims for the Van in the winter and that might be a good start.

Re: Painting tires

I have to say I wouldn't like the look, especially not on grey but to each their own.
If you must do it though do it right and get them powder coated, doing a rims Santex black should be really cheap since almost all black is done that colour.
