Sugar blasted Moabs?

JQLiberty · **Posted:** Mon Dec 12, 2005 2:48 am

I had my extra moabs sugar blasted. I am going to put them on the liberty. I like the way they look but I am worried they will get stained by brake dust or be a PITA to clean. Should I put them on just as they are or should I have them powder coated?

I would get em powder coated if possible. Cool lookin wheels.

Just like sand blasting but with sugar as the media instead of the sand.

Is this a joke, or are you guys serious?
Honestly, I can't tell. Sorry :roll:

I just could help laughing Lesrace82 said "sugar as the media instead of the sand".

You can even use walnut shells, it all depends on the desired finish.

I've decided to have my rims powder coated graphite grey. Anyone know any good powder coaters in Houston??

Any pics of them powder coated?

I would definitally get them powder coated. Those things are going to get stained fast not just from brake dust but the first time you hit a mud puddle. Just my 2 cents.

What ever you do, do not use the powder coat color that looks like chrome. It looks great when new, but gets a real fugly tarnished look out in the elements

Color match them to your KJ.......edit.....oh, it is silver......LOL! Nevermind.

For Sale if anyone wants them. I would rather not ship. Asking $400 as is for all 5 wheels. Wheels are located in Houston TX.

They have been in my garage since I had them sugar blasted. I ended up using the moabs off from my 2005 Rubicon so now I have these extra.
I can take some updated pics tonight after work if you would like. Otherwise they look same as the first pictures posted.

With nothing on them I would never give more than $200 for those. :shock:

Sorry no longer for sale. I am going to have them powder coated and put on my new Comanche.
