Had rims Powder Coated?

[Shaun_GST]

Im thinkin about getting a set of rims powder coated. They are painted now. So who has actually had a set of rims pc'ed? did you have them stripped, how much was that? how much did it all cost. i searched but theres nothin about how much it costs for rims

[eli]

theres a guy that does em in the misc auto for sale. maybe pm him and he'll hook u up.

if they are already painted you need them stripped. The powder won't attach onto paint

i got my bike rim2 powder coated - about 120 total. its look nice and smooth no scrathes at first - few months later- some how it got some fucking chip and scratches. but from far away its still look nice


the price depend on the color - if u pick the color that they currently have- its goign to be cheap if u're going to pick custom colors its going to cost alot ($100+ +days of waiting for the pain from houseofcolor) - i got mine done by Lasker Powder Coating in Tampa 9645667 - hes pretty cool - take couple days to do it - i did some price hunting before i pick him. and there a bunch of powercoaters in phonebook. just got find right one. oh yeah if u have pain on the rim its going to cost to take it off and prep it to coat. and u can't powder coat over pain - pain just going to melt and fuck everything up. powercoating only work on plain metal with nothingeles on it

just rattel can them..i did mine on janurary and still look great..and i didnt even sand them or clear coat them..if i would have clear coated them they would have looked sooo much better

I'm getting mine done right now at a place off ulmerton. They are charging me $75 a wheel. that includes stripping all the paint off. If you do the prep work it might be cheaper.
