I'm looking to powdercoat my wheels locally. Also, they will need a little bit of repair from curb rash.

I was wondering what do you recommend? Obviously looking for a good price, but want good quality too.

Paul contact spec wheels for the wheel repair they have good pricing. Then see the resource guide Frosty found a local powdercoating shop

Spec wheels. They repaired my wheels from my accident just last week. Did a pretty good job.

I use Denver bumper for my powder coating. They have always done a good job for me but I have never had rims done.

I'm going down to blueflamepowder down here in denver today. I was quoted a pretty good price $72/wheel.

Oh yeah! I have heard really good things about them. Let me know how it goes, Please!

I went to both 'Blue Flame Powdercoating' and 'Pristine Powdercoating'

Blue flame was a nice shop. Nice people. The guy spent a good 20 minutes with me talking about the different finishes and colors. There is a boatload of options. The price was ($4 x 18") $72/wheel base price for single coat. If you want to get a special type of finish that might require 2 coats, you're looking at spending another $40/wheel. Clear coat is a bit extra also (want to say $15/wheel). The sand blasting for my wheels which are required because they can't paint on existing powdercoat or the plastic enamel underneath, basically brought my total to $130-$140/wheel.

Pristine is a smaller shop. The guy I talked to was nice, offered me a price of $45/wheel to powdercoat, and $15/wheel to clearcoat. His machine blaster is not as good as it could be, so he uses a shop literally right around the corner. He sends out to them, and doesn't turn a profit on the deal. I poodled along to them and the guy ballparked me $40-$50/wheel (depending on time). So basically, I"m looking at $100-$110/wheel. I saw his work...looks really good. I'll probably be going there soon.

I talked to a girl some time ago down at Blue flame. She seemed nice. I wanted to get my wheels on my motorcycle powdercoated but I'm too big of a chicken to take them off. So they are still not done.

Yea, the girl is actually the mother of the lead powder coater guy. She's very nice.

Come on frosty. Get 'er powdered! uhh, the wheels, that is

Dude I so would. But I don't want to mess up the bike, And if I did it myself I know I would.
