Default How much to powdercoat rims?

I was quoted $650 for powdercoating the center of all four of my TT2's. Seems pretty steep in my opinion (so much so that I don't want it done that bad). Is this guy trying to screw me or is this the average going rate?

That sounds like a lot. I could see the $150 maybe but the other $50 is bull. Check with more shops

I called a shop called Turbo Mach and the rep quoted me between $35-$50 jus for one rim... I hope he ain't bullcheeeeting wit me! I was going to take the rim tomorrow morning but they closed the wkend so I'll take it first thing monday morning. Wheels of America quoted me $129 flat rate/ rim.... I'm lucky three came powder coated already!

I'm trying to stay local. I'll see what else there is out there as far as their competition goes. And yes, it is a special color and would have to be ordered.
