$25 a wheel would fit into my budget! Please let me know if you find the place Michelle.

My rims are scratched to hell and I wanna powdercoat them. They're just gonna be my track-use rims, so I'm not looking for top-notch quality here.

What they do is remove the old paint, spray on the powder coating and then bake it. The end result is a finish that is very hard and resist scratches and chipping. $25 a wheel sounds like a great price.

Can they do just the spokes in a wheel? Is it like any other type of paint job where if you can mask it you can keep the color seperate then bake it? $25.00 sound really good. A few years back I had some headers done and it was around $300.00
