Thread: Powder coated wheels!!! 05 comp g

Well here they are! I did all the prep work myself. Due to the clear coat, and paint on the inside of the spokes the wheels had to be stripped. I used aircraft stripper and ALOT of time with a wire wheel and sandpaper!! They were pre-baked for an hour to burn off any grease/moisture, and to allow outgassing to occur. They were coated with Ink Black and i think they turned out wonderful!! It made such a huge difference in the appearance of the car. 20% tint next week cant wait!

Well about $16 for stripper, $5 for sandpaper, and $17 for 2 lbs of ink black powder. about $38 total did them myself, me and my hubby have a small powder coating operation.

For what we have invested in building the oven, compressor, blast cabinet(wish it was ready when i did my wheels), and powder coating equipment its going to take alot of rims to pay off but its a hobby of ours. and makes for a good excuse to powdercoat EVERYTHING

Thanks for all the comments everyone, i think they look great too! Check us out on facebook at No Coast Custom Coatings in brookings, sd

Have you looked at a shop in your area? South Dakota prices will be different than New York.

Then there you go. Unless you are going to pay shipping round trip to South Dakota.

Thats pretty standard for around here too. You see 80-100 alot. For a single stage color(no clear, translucent, etc.) I would do them for 45 a wheel. Where would you have to ship from?

shipping could get spendy real fast im afraid. If you could get it here and back for a reasonable price it may be worth it. Our zip is 57006, but will be relocating to 57445 soon

dam those wheels look bad ass!

Those look great. How did you do the pink in the exhaust tips?

just used some of the left over caliper paint on the inside
