Anyone Painted/Powder Coated Wheels in Chicago area ? I plan on either painting or powdercoating my stock SS 10-spoke rims black.
Painting is cheaper, but powdercoating is more durable. However, curing temperatures during powdercoating are crucial, as it's possible for metal alloy to crack under extreme (high temp) conditions...I'd have to see which possibility suits me better...
Anyways, anyone knows good places in Chicago area who can either paint or powder coat my rims ?
I heard it's $50~ wheel...
Thanks

look in my WWW ive powdercoated several rims
even some 10 spokes matte black
powdercoating is over rated, if you want gloss, base/clear produces much better results
also $50 a wheel would be cheap. expect to pay more like $75 a wheel if they are already sandblasted. any more questions throw em out there
