You can always do it yourself if you have the time. It's super easy to do...just takes some time to get it looking perfect. Way cheaper too!

+1 to doing it yourself, and +1000 to it being a :censored: load of work. Ask Ron about it. He did his R6 rims. Biggest problem is that they will tarnish, if you don't clear coat them.

True that. It's easy to do. I've been thinking of powder coating mine. Gold or red. Fun stuff.

i do powdercoat and i just saw our new books for powder and you can coat parts now that look like anodized there are some bad A S S colors but would never want to pay the price for the powder alone!

what color you want them? just an FYI cowder coat is not as strong as paint if something will be rubbing on it all the time.
