powder coat wheels black?

[Ryan]

okay, anyone know about how much it would cost me to have my rh's powdercoated black? all 4 17" rims.

Just a average price, just need to get some numbers down so i can go and ask some ppl. I just wanna know what kinda numbers to expect.

 

[fkmp5]

i would estimate around $200 - $300 for all 4 wheels.. not including tire mounting/unmounting .. but that _should_ include sandblasting to prep it..

 

[Ryan]

really that cheap huh... wow.. i wonder how good it would look.

 

[fkmp5]

since you are in maryland, i would have suggested the guy i went to ( www.aescoatings.com ) however, he has since closed up shop and got a "real" job

but yeah, it shouldn't be much more..at the very most, i would pay $100 per corner.. but that's it. and while they are at it, get anything else done you might want done down the road (strut bar, valve cover, etc, etc).. that way it would all match in color for certain.. (not that black would be that big of a deal to match) but i had lime green wheels and engine parts

 

[Ryan]

nice, i want black rh's i think. u think it would look good?

 

[fkmp5]

oh yeah, i think the black on orange will look awesome.. i want to get black or gun metal for my silver p5.

 

[Ryan]

genmetal is to light i want somethign darker i have 15% tint, so i want somethign truely dark

 

[dmitrik4]

i think "gunmetal" usually refers to any sort of mid- to dark grey color...

black on orange should look good. good luck.

 

[Ryan]

yeah, i love hte rh's i just want them a darker color like black hehe.

i was quoted $300-$400

 

[Ryan]

really cool. hrm.. i guess i needa find a place around here that can do it anyone know of a type of place can any body shop? or what kinda place am i looking for?

 

[NCMP3]

black rims.

Ryan, Yeah Black rims on your car would look really good, Plus if you end up getting a carbon fiber hood, your car would look mean as hell!!!!!!! Just my 2 cents.

 

[Ryan]

carbon fiber hood is prolly next

I have been wanting to powdercoat my rims black for the longest. I will do it as soon as i am done with the performance part of my car.

 

[Ryan]

i'll do it this weekend

 

[Newf]

wasn't there someone here that photoshopped a MSP and put black rims on it? You might want to see it before doing it.

 

[fkmp5]

really cool. hrm.. i guess i needa find a place around here that can do it anyone know of a type of place can any body shop? or what kinda place am i looking for?

you are looking for a powder coating shop.. not a body shop.. if you went to a body shop they could paint your rims black.. but the powder coating will hold up better against rock chips and marks...

anyway, a powdercoating shop is what you need.. you can probably find one in a phone book if someone can't suggest one.. they typically do marine products, lawn/patio furniture, fences, etc, etc.. but they can do your wheels and a bunch of other automotive parts, bike frames, etc.

again, i wish i could suggest to you the guy who did mine, but he closed his shop.. it's better to let someone suggest it because they can vouch for the quality of work.. i have seen some bad powdercoating jobs (dirty & rough looking) and you want to make sure the place you are going to does good work or will guarantee you'll like it (or they do it again)?

Go to www.switchboard.com and look up powder coating in you area. I did and I came up with 3 of them. I am going to give them a call now to see on prices.

 

[Ryan]
