I'm glad to see Metal Coaters doing some amazing work for you guys! I'm even more impressed that Taj is giving us TM3 guys a discount even tho he is not a forum sponsor! Wow! For the price guys, you really cant go wrong! My MS6 are proof that if you take care of your rims, they last!

Sorry about the quality of pics, I couldn't wait so I took them while it was raining :chuckle
Overall I'm very satisfied with the job done. The curb rashes were gone and the rims look brand new when I came to pick them up. I got some people hatin' on the bronze already :chuckle but idc coz I like them.
Very nice bro...:thumbsup
I want them back now hehehehe :chuckle

Can't wait to show them off to you all!
2nd gen MS3 rims powdercoated Argento by Metal Coaters. There are a few tiny imperfections, but overall love the color and their work. Great price too, paid $280 including clearcoat.

Much better than paint. More resistent to impact.
Great colour choice rsquared. Argento FTW!!
For the members who have gone to see Taj, did you bring your rims in with the rubber or did you take the rubber off first prior to seeing him?
Take off the rubber and don't forget to take off the centre caps.Quote:

Thanks! good to know. I assume it would be a good idea to re-attach the wheel weights after... what do you recommend?Quote:

Minor rash and scratches will be smoothed out because the Powder treatment (and/or media blast) will "fill in" or smooth out the flawsQuote:

Simply put - they are not a wheel refinisher.
ah, thank you for the clarificationQuote:
