I had wheels PCed and it cost twice as much to strip them as it did to PC them. I think they were dipped.

For those that have painted their wheels, do you take the rubber off then paint, or tape it off?

You'll get a much better job if the tires are removed.

thanks.  I've always wanted satin polished/clear ano'd wheels, but didn't want to spend the $1800.  Was thinking about maybe getting the lip polished and leave the rest paint, or the center/spokes paint and polish the rest... hmmm

Cool guys/gals - thanks for all the feedback.

Lack of prep and glossiness might have sold me on paint - going to call around my area and get some quotes. I've changed my mind to red - along with seeing if I can't find some white bodywork on ebay. Going for the look of the new 848 evo :-)

sorry to bring this back from the dead.  I'm about to get my 5 spokers refinished, and have chosen to go the paint route vs. PC'd.  Its more for color options and gloss reasons.

My concern is when its time to remount the tires.  Can the tire machines easily chip/scratch the paint?  How long should I wait before I go have the tires re-installed (cure time)?   Will stretching the tires over the lips of the rim possibly damage the paint?

if the person mounting the tires is careless and doesnt use the proper equipment, then yes they will scratch or chip the paint.
