slick Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Correct term is Powder Coated. Anyways, are you looking for someone local, or something on the internet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midnight rider Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 look in your phone book under "powder Coating" or do a yahoo yellow pages search for your area. That stuff will last longer than the car in most cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smoke1991 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 there is a place called wheels america, they charge 130 base, for anything you want done to the rim, it includes fixing scratches, dents, making it like brand new, then if u want them powder coated its an option, for like 130 a rim.

mfewtrail Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 "Powder coat/coating" is paint, so "powder paint" would suffice. It's just applied a bit differently from the "paint" you normally think of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

no1kicker Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 If you're worried about price, get some caliper paint. That (at least in my experience) looks as good as a powdercoating and is heat resistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiirt Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 The clear coat on the rims is peeling. Plus there are small spots of rust. What would u guys reccomend I do to get rid of this? Should I pay someone a small fee to prep the wheels and go paint them myself? I dont have any high powered tools. I have your average set of tools, and dont mind buying bits or whatever but Im not going to buya compressor just to paint my wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 I checked around down in Florida about getting a set of rims powdercoated. I ended up paying $100/each to have it done but there was quite a few places that quoted me $75 each. Keep in mind this includes stripping and prepping them and then actually coating them.
