Default That powdercoating place...

Does anyone know how much the powdercoating place by Exhaust Wizzard charges per wheel?

R U going to powder coat your rims purple or green?

edit* David, we all go through the phase of trying to "make it better." Don't fug up a really nice ride. Funky color rims (or black rims on that truck )

If you have to, put a billet grill on it and leave it alone. Put gas in it and save your money for other stuff, like prostitutes and stuff. Don't try to add horsepower to it.... just drive it. It's a pick-up truck.

I may be way out of line, but I'm trying to save at least one person from the damage that youth brings. Spending on frivolous things.

I'm not gonna touch the truck man. It's my parent's vehicle. I have another ride in store coming up here soon and want to do black wheels with polished center and lip...

If you get the entire wheel done one color then it is 40-45. If he has to do any taping or cutting (PC just the centers) its like 60-65.

Earth calling David..FYI..why don't you just call the guy that is going to do the work instead of letting someone price his work for him..he may have changed his pricing ect.,ect...dealing with the actual person is usually the best way to find out the price of work to be performed...this is Uncle Steve's hot roddin tip of the day..

I was aiming to hear what some people who have used them before say about them. That way I know quality, flexibility, time, etc. Thanks tho.

They do work for GMMG that says enough about their quality.. always check with the jobber for prices on their work..there are situations sometimes surrounding work done for other people that may not apply to you..Miller's Powder Coating has had a ton of positive posts about them on here for a long time..they are well known in the local hot rod community..ooopps ..my bad..I forgot your are usually in the truck section.. ..have you got those high performance floor mats for the project outlaw yet..

The truck isn't my project... it's my parents ride that i'm using until i buy a new car... which still prob. won't be the Outlaw... but trust me, I've got something in mind.

See, I finally got it thru my head that its not good to own a fast car without a DD to back it up. And all I have the money for now is the DD... so hopefully once I get a better job, etc. I can get the project car. I just don't wanna go out and buy a high-mileage, low priced, pos thats gonna suck every dollar from my wallet without having something to drive to work and school.

nikon 4300 I think... it is in my dorm and I am home for the weekend... but that is on about half resolution.. it has good enough resolution to take HUGE pictures.. I will check it out for sure when I go back to school monday.. but.. I am pretty sure its the 4300

I love the camera though. and it wasn't even too expensive...

Oh..I see..what you are saying is that you do not have a vehicle that needs parts powder coated.. ..this was just a typing excersize..
