Hello!

I have a base Defender arriving in October with steelies. My car is white with the white wheels and I was thinking about powder coating them black/grey. I got the black badge/trip pack and think that would look pretty sweet. Wondering if anyone has done so and if they have any pictures/advice with what to go for.

Thanks

 

Also if you're in Austin and have a recommendation for someone that would also be sweet.

Almost 15 years ago, I had Aus-Tex Sandblasting and Coating in Austin redo the wheels on my 1980 230G G-Wagon. I can't remember how much it cost at the time, but they did a great job. Two fun facts about that experience:

1. Aus-Tex was contracted to powder coat the city's famed Moonlight Towers during a restoration in the mid 90's. I figured if they were good enough for the towers, they were good enough for my wheels.
   
2. They discovered while sandblasting that the original color of my wheels was army green, which makes sense considering the G-Wagon's original military intentions.

Finally, here's an after shot ('cause who doesn't love some old truck and steelies ****):
