Powder Coating

I know this will sound hokey but has anyone ever done this on their stock rims? If so, how much did it cost?

I just got through sending an e-mail to a local powder coating business to see how much they would charge to do my stockers white. Let you know what they say it will cost me.

Well give the rattle cans a try. If you can find some old Civic caps helps too. I need one more as one of mine has holes in it from sandblasting

I saw your pics with the centercaps before and decided I was going to do the classic honda steelie thing (silver w/ centercaps) temporarily since i'm getting tired of the hubcaps. I am well versed in rattle can technique, so i'll give it a shot.

Thanks for the inspiration

i foudn most powdercoaters near me are close to $100/rim. no where near worth it for different colored stock rims.

There's an Ebay seller that has a bunch of different ones:
oemcentercaps | eBay
You can search for Honda ones, I planned on picking them up there. I would try junkyards but I doubt i'd find a decent set, probably worth the $ in time and effort to just order from them.

I recall looking there. Terrible but I forget where I got mine. Mine are 2 1/2" inside diameter with a smooth lip. Originally there was a neoprene type gasket on the lip. I just wrapped mine with black friction tape.Mine also have a separate insert in the middle with the H. It was glued in.
