silver wheels are the best on black. black wheels disappear. gold stands out too much.

i always wanted to try a dark bronze though, but pulling it off would depend on the wheel style.

Ryan, black chrome them, they'd look good on it with it currently silver, an when if you go black, it'd still look sharp, black chrome is sexy

[Ryan...]

If I could find someone to coat them like that......

[Brian.]

Yeah I don't know how you'd go about that... I don't even know how they black chrome them. I'm assuming it's the same as if you were to chrome a rim, aka dipping it, but in black chrome.

[Ryan...]

It's probably similar to anodizing then, but I don't know how to go about doing that to something a large as a wheel.. I used to get my paintball gun accessories anodized often..

black chrome is simply a black powder coat after chroming

[Ryan...]

Brian, I'm workin a double tonight and tomorrow night

I asked for overtime and now they're stealing my Friday/saturday nights lol

How do you powdercoated over chrome? Lightly spray black over the chrome?

[Earl]

Is anodizing Shizzit expensive?

[Ryan...]

Getting paintball guns done was usually around $200. That consists of a bunch of separate pieces plus disassembly etc...

[Brian.]

I'm assuming black chrome would be pricey, but so sexy

[Ryan...]

So, who here is into guns and such?

I got all this stuff for work, with a 15% discount, for $234.56 (not including glock). Now I need to start shooting a ton of rounds, who wants to go??

[alexw]

Let's go!

I don't have any 9mm's anymore. Sorta wish I did, ammo was decently priced.

I bought reloads from Deerfield Pistol for pretty cheap, target use only. So far I've put about 150 rounds through it and cleaned it 3 times lol

I'm not a member of any clubs, I've got all this stuff for my job, and I'm taking a 40hr firearms class so I can be armed at work.

[industrialsized]

where do you work?

[Ryan...]

MPI Security.

Moving to the Patrol Division with squad car/lights/etc.. Being armed is required and comes with a $1 an hour raise over my previous position.

I worked with Securitas for many years.

How does MPI's pay compare?

[Ryan...]

Well, I currently make $10.05/hr as an on-site security guard. On Thursday after I pass my firearms class I'll be in the Patrol Division making $11/hr.

@ Alex, 50 target rounds for $14.80 is pretty damn nice compared to what the guys with 45s pay!
