  • Painting Brand New Gram Lights

    I am looking into some new wheels and I had settled with some new Gram Lights

    They only offer 3 finishes(grey silver, polished. titanium), none of which I want. SO I called Mackin Industries to see if they could do a one-off gloss white finish.

    they said no.

    So I am faced with the dilemma of powder coating an $800 wheel.

    Do I have any other options? I guess no matter what I do, the wheels will need to be stripped of their original color.

        Well I called Mackin Industries headquarters in CA. The factory is in Japan. I could give calling the Japan factory a try. Hopefully they have a couple English speaking employee

        I will more than likely be paying a craaaaaaaaap load if I bought them straight off the line with a one off coat. Shipping would be ridiculous. Especially after I overnight them

              Just powdercoat them anyway? Ask them to not put the stickers on, or include extras.
