If you can live with black, I just bought 5 disc rims from the dealer for $85.89 each.

Is the black coating that comes from the factory just a primer coat?

Yes .

I rattle-canned mine using one of the standard off-white/ivory colors from Ace, and I think it came it pretty good. Cleaned up the wheels real good first, and put a couple coats of primer, several coats of color, and two top coats of clearcoat. Based on the prices being posted, I guess I saved quite a bit of $$ too

are the stock FJ40 hubcaps still avaliable from the dealer? If so does anybody know the price and part #.....The dealer here doesn't seem to want to look very hard.

TIA, Greg

EDIT: I apologize for the hijack.......I'll owe ya a beer sometime.

Powder coating price

Best thing to do is sit down and call five or six powder coaters within comfortable driving distance and get quotes. My experience has been that the quotes will vary substantially. Powder coating will last many times longer than rattle cans. At my local prices I could powder coat for two or three times the cost of rattle cans and last six to ten times as long. Rattle cans aren't as cheap as they used to be. By the time you do a few coats of primer and then color and the clear you could almost powder coat and be done with it IMO. Can't powder coat in your garage though Takes skill and patience to get a real good finish with a spray bomb.

Anyone know what powdercoat color most closely matches the late model gray? The ones posted earlier in this thread appear to be too light.

As stated before, Cardinal Gray, is close to stock and readily available from most powder coating outfits.

Here's a shot of a buddies old Bj with cardinal gray wheels, think he paid about $50 apiece for the powder coating.

I'm trying to decide between keeping my wheels gray on my FJ55 or changing over to off-white.

Gray looks 'unfinished' to me...like primer, but that is what mine were stock. Torn between keeping it stock and changing to white.
