Okay so...basic question here, how much do places usually charge to strip rims that have a chrome lip? I understand it most likely has to be sanded and sandblasted etc., but has anyone actually done it before and for how much?

 

The rims I have now had a chrome lip before, but I had them painted IP. They charged me 400 for everything.

 

That's not bad, u painted and didnt powdercoat?

 

Straight up paint, I wanted that glossy finish and a closer color match.

 

interesting, no problems with chips??

 

None thus far.

 

i guess it's only the IP's talking in this thread lol

 

IP FTW haha

 

i might as well write something then.

why dont you just wash the chrome lip with some cheap wheel cleaner, you'll get a frosted effect ??

 

^^

 

ip talk!!

 

u cant powder coat the IP its a 3 stage, but matt u r doing a dif color as long as its not 3 stage u can p coat it...if it is 3 stage it must be painted

 

IPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP Power!!!!!!!! lmao

 

Just the lip? $100-125 a rim. Same as a curb rash repair. Going with pink lips to match whats in your undies.

 

howd you guess..you mean whats under my undies baby ;]
