|
|
I want to powder coat a set of rims for my EVO but have a few questions.
Who does it and is good in this area?
Approx cost for 4 wheels
What type of prep do I need to do first? |

| From what i've heard.. it's roughly 125-150/wheel... That's a "normal" price |

| Usual prep would include dismounting of any wheels/weights/valvestems and having the wheel stripped of old paint/powdercoating. The last part you can ask the shops you call about, as they may offer to also strip the old paint/powder though possibly at an added cost. Ways to strip would be mediablasting or using an aircraft stripper (or any stripper that is a known plastic eater as thats what powdercoating is) |
