this is the cai i bought from the junk last year for $1. my coworker has a sand blaster, so he sand blasted it for me for free cause it was small. luckyly my bro works for a place that does powder coating and i got it done for a good deal. i'm hoping to powder coat my stock rims this summer.

sandblasted


powder coated silver, to match spark plug cover



i was going to color match it with my car but there were no similar colors.

if anyone wants anything powdercaoted i can get a hook up for cheap a set of rims for $50-70. over 200 colors. you'd have to sand blast it first or i can get it sand blasted for extra.

my coworker said he'd sand blast a set of rims for $30. my bro co worker at the same place had done a two tone on his gs-r pedals, black w/ a red lip. so they can two tone also.

^^sandblasting just peppers the surface man, so probably not, a thick powdercoat job may mask scuffs though, not sure how well it would work.
