Does anybody know of a good shop to get rims powder-coated? I would like to powder-coat black the stock 17" seven spokers that came on the '03 base/enthus without paying too much (these are winter rims). I spend the week in Bethlehem PA (18015) and the weekends in Valley Forge oustide of Philly (19312), so any place near either of those locations is fine. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

 

just spray bomb them!

ive done it to 3 sets of rims..

ifu do it right and take ur time it turns out real nice....

 

+1

spend 15 bucks.....3 cans of whatever color and 2 can of gloss clear...

instead of 75 a wheel

 

$36'ish a wheel at American Stripping in Manassas for a professional powdercoat. Otherwise, Ye Ole Wheel shop in Elkridge MD

 

wanna redo mines

 

I was going to get mine powder coated, but I dont have a second set of wheels to swap out while I get my tires unmounted, take them to get coated and baked, tires remounted and balanced, THEN put back on the car. Dont underestimate the power of the can, man.

 

guys what u think about black rims with red liped on a daytuna blue z with the nismo line? if u wana see the car chek my pics

 

is that a hook-up price for you??

or anybody will get that price?

 

I called up and they said "it depends on the wheel" I guess size and width matter to them? They gotta charge you for the extra couple grams of powder for a 19" vs an 18"

 

post up pics of wheels^^ they were looking good on sunday.

you painted them yourself right?

 

Just get some ROTA

 

i did my rims myself and it turned out really good, just like they said all u need to do is take ur time for the paint to heal and then clear coat them

 

Big pics are big, cant resize them here at work so deal with it until I get home!

So I just talked to sales over at www.redstarmoto.com and they quoted me for $85/wheel including the sandblasting and powder coating. That seems pretty expensive, but they do come off as being very professional. The rep argued that powders are much better against fighting road salts and things of that nature than clearcoats because of the material makeup. I'm still looking around getting other quotes, I really do not trust myself to use a spraypaint can on these wheels...

 

Wow, seriously? What size wheels did you have powder coated?

 

ok so i was 10 bucks off.

 

what u guys think?

 

go to add onz or pattons hubcap in allentown. both places have refinished my volks and did a great job.

 

those wheels are pretty cheap so why not try it? worst thing that can happen is you dont like it and then you can sand and start over.

 

Price you got quoted is similar to what my guy near Harrisburg would charge.
