anyone know any good places in the 408 to powder coat rims. im looking to do my stocks for now. im trying to keep the price around 200-300. thanks.

 

Wubaru, If you found out let me know. I've been thinking about it for a few month now.

 

Wheeltechniques in Santa Clara does rim powder coating. I don't remember their website right now. They mostly work on repairing rims but they do the whole "clean, sand, polish, wetsand, and paint" thing.

I dunno how much they charge for powdercoating.

One thing I should warn you about, I did a shop class a while back in college and powdercoated steel... Although the powdercoat looks really good, it changes the "feel" of the outer appearance significantly. It's really kind of wierd to me.

 

Wheel Techniques there you go...

 

I'm try to drive down there this week and get some quotes

 

what kind of feeling? can powdercoats have a glossy finish or is it only matte?

 

I would like to get my rims either color matched FM or colored Black. I do hope they can get a glossy finish.

 

I had my intake powdercoated and it has a nice smooth polished finish. They even put glitter in it and you can't feel a thing.

 

They can do glossy, here are some pics of my Gloss Black Wheels, also I've got a Candy Red strut bar and engine cover. I love powdercoating, I plan on getting more

 

Dwestxb,
How much was the poweder coating for the Rims and Engine cover? Your Black box looks great.

 

^^nice! thats exactly what i want.

i got an email back from star spray in santa clara. heres what they said..

Here are the prices....

Paint only on 4 wheels, gloss black $60.00 ea.
Sandblast and paint 4 wheels, gloss black $85.00 ea.

Paint only on 4 wheels, gloss black and silver $120.00 ea.
(*includes masking but not clear coating)
Paint only on 4 wheels if you leave a chrome lip, gloss black $100 ea.

Sandblasting rims is an additional $25.00 per wheel with no masking.

*Most silver powder coating does not handle exterior use well without clear coat. I don't really recommend using the silver, then clear coating if you are going to do the black too. It adds too much expense and you will most likely not have a smooth transition between the black and silver.

Hope that helps.

Anyone know any good places around the East Bay for powdercoating?

 

Thats the info I was looking for. Thanks!

 

^ if youre going to the place i posted, lemme know how it is.

 

Now I know I am reviving a very old thread, but I didnt want to start a new one.

I am looking to powder coat some under-hood parts, nothing too big, but just want to get some feedback of places local to me (within a 1 hour drive max) to get the parts powdercoated.

 

Maas Brothers in Livermore, I have used them many times they do great work.

 

Sweet, any idea of cost? Livermore would be so convenient (being that I am in Pleasanton
