Here is a pair of wheels that need some love. The seller I bought them from said they were powder-coated, but I believe it was liquid, and poorly done. I'm in the process of exchanging the front for one that is also claimed to be powder-coated black, but I would like to send both to you for a proper job in white. I know that whites are insane to match correctly, but 'Ross White' from Honda in whatever sheen is similar to OEM would be ideal. If that is impossible, then tell me what the options are. This link may or may not help, but if you could provide a price estimate including the custom color, and how far out your schedule is, I would appreciate it, thanks.

Cant really color match...the best i could do is have you send me something in that shade of white which i can send to my powder guy to try and match up with something thats availible. Powder cant be mixed like paint which is what is difficult about color matching. As far as doing the wheels, if they are already powder coated etc its not going to be cheap to redo them. Stripping powder coating is very messy and time consuming. Youd almost be better off getting a set of stock uncoated wheels to have done. Doing a stock wheel with no additional coating is $90 per wheel but if they are already coated it could easily double depending on how difficult stripping the old powder ends up being. It wouldnt be as bad if they were steel because the powder could be burnt off, but with aluminum it has to be chemical stripped which is time consuming and messy.
