no not neccessarily, you could pick up an oven at a garage sale for cheap and get a decent powdercoating gun for between 200-500. If you do a lot of powdercoating it is worth it.....
and for the ovens propane ones are the best because you don't have to have it hooked up all the time.....i picked up my oven for $25 and have it set up to use a standard grilling propane bottle, the oven stays in the back of my shop until i need it....

Does anyone have any pictures of the stock Alero rims painted black with the Duplicolor paint? I'm considering doing that to my wheels.

Yea, I might just try something with One of my Wheelcovers. Some Sandpaper, Some Chrome Spraypaint, and some Clearcoat Rattlecan. hahaha.
I mess it up, and it's only 15 bucks on e-bay. or Cheaper from someone on here.

Meadus101, I dont know what color car you drive, but if I were you, instead of using chrome paint, Id use silver. Chrome paint, imo, is just not chrome enough and may end up looking fake. As for the clear coat, be really careful because it tends to turn white if applied too thick. Also, make sure the surface to be clearcoated is really clean. If not, you will notice the imperfections of the surface.

Yeah, I bet gunmetal would look decent. I kind of thought painting them black would make it look cheesy. If I don't do them black I'm going to do them gunmetal. |

not -low- profile.. but something a bit lower profile than the inner tubes I got right now.
and as far as looks, I'm not going for that just yet- I'll spare myself the 1 grand and just get a lower profile set of tires and make do with that untill I can afford a set of nice wheels-
little appearance mods here and there mabey.. but nothin too big- the tires I got on there now are bigger than stock anyways.. I want at least stock size on the car lol
