High Voltage, if you ever wanna sell those and have some plain stockers for spares... lemme know. ;)

Hard to find a powder coater around here worth a crap that doesn't want to give me the run-around.

What kind of tread do you have on your tires? The reason I ask is my powder coated wheels have almost new F1's on them and I am open for trades for some stock 01,02 wheels in like new shape with atleast %80 tred, plus a little cash for mine.

This is the place I got mine done at. I had them hit the edge after they coated them with a sander and then I wet sanded the lip more when I got them home. $60 a wheel.

I wish I could. My tires are in great shape, F1's with only about 3k on them... but the wheels are another story.

The previous owner had an intimate relationship with curbs. Each wheel has a little curb rash on it, and I have to wonder if they're all original wheels or not since the truck's carfax has a tag on it about a "Serious" accident involving the truck and a curb. None of them look *that* bad, so I'm assuming it had wheels replaced.

Goes along with the cigarette burns on the weatherstripping and the handful of other little issues I've been fixing to try to get it back to mint.

I was gonna post a how to today, but I don't have my camera. It's really easy and I've been redoing them the last couple days. Let's just say they look hella better than they did. I'll post pics as soon as I get my camera back.

Des Moines. Does he do the prep work too (removing the existing paint)?
