Powder Coating Wheels
There is a powder coating business right down the road from me. I am thinking about getting my sport wheels powdercoated. Any thoughts?

powdercoat them black :)
|
what if its a yellow-orange car, or two toned, black isnt always the way to go ;) like im thinkin marroon body and some-how, marron with black trim maybe? vice versa?
|
Well i havent decided on a color yet. Probably black. And my car is Black(just read my user id :)) Just dunno if i want flat black or gloss black.
|
id go with gloss black, flat black just looks too ghetto
|
Anyone have an idea of what i should expect to pay per wheel?
|
I powdercoated my rims on my supra, the guy charged me $40 a wheel. They turned out great and still no chips years later.
|
Lemme get some opinions on how the Fit sport wheels would look powdercoated gloss black on nighthawk black fit.
I guess for about a week or so ill be riding around pretty ghetto...Will have to do one wheel at a time :rotfl: |

If you wheels have curb rash, do you have to fix them first? I am assuming most powdercoating shops are not in the rim repair business.
|
Well i like the sport wheels, and since i had to pay $700 for em im not just going to throw them away which is why i wanna powdercoat them..
|
If the curb rash is not deep you will be fine. Any good shop will sandblast off the old finish first, and then the coating could fill in any rash. My last 2 vehicles I powdercoated the stock wheels, was real happy with the results. I'd almost do my stockers if I could get a real good match to body color. never looked into it though

I'm not a fan of colored OEM wheels.
