folks..
Anybody has an idea of how much it would take to powercoat the TRD's? Also what should the procedure be? any recommendations in the NY-NJ-CT area on shops that would do it?
The lip of one of my rims is pretty much messed up with some rust?? the dealership is pretty sure that its debris damage which I dont think is the case.

 

I had my wheels powder-coated. first you have to have them media blasted to get all the stuff off. Then they usually have a powder-coater if there a good shop. I paid 240$ to have my wheels blasted and then powder-coated. I don't think you can actually choose the finish. I think you can choose the color but not how the finish will turn out.

 

about $100/wheel is a good measure to go by.

 

WHAAAA!?!?!!? That's twice what we get hooked up for out here.

 

did you know someone or just go to a random shop? how do you know how well of a job they did?

 

Here are my TRD's I had done here in Phx, AZ. All four sandblasted and powdercoated for 198.00

 

the pics looks good..do you think they'll be able to powdercoat just the lip?
what kind of shops do powder coating?

 

The guy does it out of his house, but I'd compare his work with ANY shop. Period.

All the local VW, Honda, Scion, Nissan, etc get parts coated from him. Great work and an even better price.

 

Very nice, as far as powdercoating just the lip, I hear that it shouldn't be done because it may start chipping, then again I am no expert.

 

you can buy the stuff and do it yourself its not hard

 

If you have an extra oven laying around that will hold a wheel! Under 200.00 for all four done is pretty cheap

 

well i do have one
