Powder coating black&red rotors?

[Qua3ttro]

Hi all,

I saw a thread a couple of days ago where a guy had had his 19" rotor reps powder coated black and red (like the ones you can get on the black or red RS3). I can't find the thread anymore (might even have been on some other forum like fouritude) but I was wondering: can you have you're rims powder coated 'two tone'? And how costly is that? Or would you be better off having them painted instead? An if so: why?

(and if anyone knows the thread I'm on about, please post a link)

No you cant,

Unless they're splits.

The way Powder Coating is applied it is impossible to mask off to make it two colours.

Though you may be able to get "Flip" colours

huh, flip colours, what's that?

But as you say, I thought it was impossible to do a two-tone powder coat on a single object, but the thread I read did say they were powder coated, and those rotors are not 'splits' so that got me wondering.

you could always get the base powder coated mask off and paint as required

As far as I'm aware its not possible to do 2 colours with powder coating

Get them sprayed. Paint is better than powder coat!

Flip colours are like the two tone shades you get on need for speed underground 2 lol.

more commonly seen on TVR Tuscans
