Refinishing RJ liquid graphite rims?

Has anyone done this? IIRC, Ron from RJ told me that the liquid graphite finish is like 3 separate powder coats...

I want to refinish one of my wheels (curb rash is def thru the powder coat layers... maybe a little bit into the metal) but I don't want the end result to not match my other 3 wheels.

Also, what should I look at paying? I know I could probably sand blast all the powercoating off and just spray it to colormatch but... you know, its not the same.

The finish on them are fucken crap. No offense to Ron, makes great wheels but some real bs finish. I had my set for 7 months and the paint was coming off like crayons peeling. That was my 2nd set of RJ rims. 1st set were silver not a single problem..


I got quoted at one time about 250 a rim to repaint them.
