Just got my Velgen VMB6s back from the SECOND shop in attempts to powder coat them to a color that was similar to the original. Came out beautiful IMHO. Long story short, I scratched two of the wheels a few weeks back, got them touched up (didn't last too long), powder coated by a nearby shop (didn't get the color right), and then I finally took them to another shop that a few people recommended and it came out great.

Now I can finally take my car off of jack stands after being on there for two weeks.
I'm glad you were able to get everything fixed. Can't wait to see more pictures :cheers:

No need to cover it. Just dip the whole thing then pic the dip out of the red dot area with a toothpick. That's what I did with the Sport emblem on my girlfriend's Explorer Sport.
i never thought about trying that. I figured it would all want to peel off :cheers:

Did you do the custom brake caliper paint or a generic color? I'm trying to decide between body color (Ruby Red) or black. Mine has the black accent package.

I just used G2's regular red caliper paint and then decals, it matches the ruby red darn close. I thought about black, it would probably work but I am a nut for color.

The tint is ASWF Performer 35% all the way around expect on the windshield where it is just the strip across the top, all maximums allowed by Florida law.

I personally don't like the really dark pigment dye tint, I think it looks cheap but that's just me. My ASWF Perfomer tint is metallic based and has a really classy look to it I think. The picture doesn't really do it justice.
