Thanks ahead of time.

what color?

[Koniig]

Dunno yet.. Probably black, haven't decided for sure yet.

Local shop does them for $50.00 a wheel.

I recommend satin black, looks the best IMO.

This includes blasting them clean, and power coat. (clear coat too if its a gloss finish) I do a lot of wheels for others locally, as well as out of state for those that cant get this done locally.

My friend just started a buisness about 6 months ago. I've seen a set of rims he did for a Supra and they came out nice, lots of other items he has done to. I'm not sure what he charges exactly but him being new I'm sure he be able to compete with others easily. Has all the right stuff to get nice results, I've used his sandblaster a few times already. Give him a call anytime, its better the later you call though

I think average Joe off the street is around $80.00 a wheel. I go there a lot, and have been for like 15 years, so they treat me good.

Their oven is big enough to park around 4 Grand Prix's in. End to end, and stacked two high. LOL. This isn't some small shop with a few old ovens from some body's kitchen.

They powder coated my sandblasting cabinet for me. I bought it off Craigs List for $80.00. The serial number indicates this machine was manufactured in 1963. Damn... 47 years old, the company is surprised its looking this good.


and after.


I still have a lot of work to do to it, and new parts to install before it will be operational. But then I can do my own in house sandblasting before I take parts to the powder coaters to save me some money. (and them, the powder coaters, some time).

I even powder coated, and rebuilt the expensive Heinrich foot pedal.
