A HUNDRED OR TWO!!!! WHAT! For wheel-off, spray here spray there, wheel back on? That's ridiculous! What the shizz! Who pays that?!?!

they would most likely powered coat not spray, if they advised spraying I'd be i'd be looking elsewhere ....... i sprayed mine but that's because i don't have a big oven :)

but yeah probably a hundred or two

Did you just rattle-can spray it? Did it work well?

i stripped them down to the metal, polished the polished bit, masked off, primed, sprayed then lacquered

Try over at Farley Customs. I think he does powder coating, or he could advise. However hes not always quick and budget for new bearings.

That looks so pro! How do you strip it down to the metal? Pain thinner? That looks really good man, exactly what I want! How did you get them off too?

Wideboy, Sorry, I meant the tyres and shizz.. How much did you spend over all?

Sensai, I will check them out and pop the question. I'd rather mimic wideboy if it's cheaper.
