Default Clear Coating Alum. Wheels

Any local shops that do Clear Powder Coating on polished aluminum wheels?

Just wondering if any of you have used a shop, had good results, or guess on price for 20's.

Thanks,
Steve

I will be sending my wheels to Powder Coating Soultions in Greenland, NH

They will be Clear powder coating my 20" wheels in 3 weeks along with a few other things.
They will look great when they are done.

You can do it yourself I made a post about this due to some flaking on my WS6 wheels. https://ls1tech.com/forums/wheels-tires/431183-re-clearing-polished-wheel.html

What was the cost per wheel? Details.. I wanan have my stock wheels stripped and redone, but polished real good first so they will look good thru the clear. Also, anythign that can get all teh black off the inside would be good too... damn brake dust.

Also, would the clear give the inside of the wheel some protection against getting all black from brake dust... if it was blasted off of chemically stripped clean first?

I haven't done any of what wa suggested to do yet, I'm going to see how well the factory clear holds up with the peeling first.
