Post by toonarmy »

Anyone tried painting/powder coating these got my wheels coming tomorrow had them coated white bike is all yellow so gold calipers will look a bit odd? Cheers

I would go for black if you don't like gold

Can be painted Marty did his blue, I would imagine you will need special paint of some sort. Also for a decent job get them off strip down to paint, might as well do seals ect whilst stripped down.
