    Default New truck powder coating lift and wheels, lots of questions help needed!

    I have a bunch of questions and need some answererd before i can move foreward with my build. Im not a coater and dont want to be but I like to be educated and informed.

    I am going to put a 9 inch lift on a 09 gmc 2500 and run a 24 inch wheel. The truck is metallic black so i would like a metallic powder im leaning towards red or blue but I am open to suggestions. Its dark outside right now but I will be sure to post some pics of the truck tomorrow.

    The lift kit is approx 70 pieces including the sway bars, leaf springs, hitch and other odds and ends. Its going to come powder coated black which will have to be stripped. Im going to need a VERY fast turnaround on the stock parts off the truck because its my only vehicle and it will obviousley be down while parts are being coated. I am in NW georgia and would rather hand deliver vs UPS but we will get to that later.
    below is the lift

    below is the grill, i want to unbolt the surrounds, powder the mesh part to match the truck and the surrounds the same color as the lift




    im looking for feedback on colors and the "do-ability" of this project. any input is greatly appreciated!

    below are the wheels i want. the come gloss black and unfinished between the spokes. i want the black parts to become metallic black and the unfinished parts to become the same color as the powder on the grill surround and lift. I want the little circles around the rim to remain unfinished though, inside and out


    Sorry that above pic is so big, pic of the truck to follow

    so let me get this right.... You need someone to powder coat this stuff for you?
