Default Want your rims powder coated??

I decided a couple of weeks ago to get my rims powder coated black. I spoke to a guy, and he gave me an awesome deal.

If I get a few people intersted in doing it, the price will drop even more. As of right now, the price per wheel will be $60 each. Thats in gloss black.

i'm meeting with him tonight again at 7pm and if i get enough response by then, then I can tell him a rough number of rims to expect.

He's really cool and willing to work with me. (He even told me i could take him 1 rim at a time to so i can swap my donut slowly around my car.

Let me know by 6pm tonight, so I can give him an initial number. I can change the number anytime after.

Usually the better prepped the rims the better the price and quality. Just like body/paintwork.

^^^^Now that's a good idea. Anyone down for picking up a junker oven?

(I found this $125 for a industrial Powder Coating oven!!) I won't say where, just a shop closing near me.

That post is from like 4 yrs ago does the guy still do it for that price/even still work there?

Ya a normal oven will work. I had got one (bachelor size) but it was too small to fit the 19" C6 rim in so I have been waiting to get a regular size oven. Junker will work fine if it can reach 400, just a cheap one.

Waiting on the landload to replace one and get it for free.

I tried calling Brad, but the office was closed. I'm pretty sure that after almost 5 YEARS the price has climbed. If you're in the san Fernando Valley, and want to do a wheel at a time, then "my guy" can help ya.

I'm not saying there aren't better deals out there... i'm just saying that here's an option RIGHT NOW, if you want it.

let me know, boys!!!
