I'd like to get the front of my wheels painted the gunmetal color thats inside the spokes also. I don't like the shiny machined finish...The best price I've found is $175 per wheel to paint the face. I had anther set powder coated and that was $150 each plus mount, dismount, and balance.
I'd love to find a cheaper solution to get rid of the machine finish on the wheel face so much so that I considered but an air gun. But I knew I'd f... them up. |

I see you're in NoVA - call TintFX in Fairfax; they'll dip all four wheels for I think 150. There are some really nice colors/finishes available with dip these days, and it looks great, is perfectly durable, and is easily reversible.
They definitely have a charcoal gray option which looks like the color of the inner finish on the 601M, but since it's so cheap and reversible you can even experiment with wacky colors like red/white/etc. I had them dip my grills and gills - came out fantastic. They're very good - and they're great people. Was going to have them do my wheels but wound up ordering aftermarkets instead, so I'm just going to store the OEMs until I flip the car.

Crazy body kit you have there.
Powdercoat, while a little more expensive than paint, is much more durable and in some applications it looks better.
