  • Wheel powdercoating suggestions?

    Looking to fix the curb rash and change the colour for summer! I would paint them myself but let's be real powdercoating wheels > painting wheels.
    What's the best place to go from your guys' experience? I don't want some mediocre powdercoat lol

    When I talked to a few places (calgary powder coating / top gun) they told me around 150 each rim to strip and then 150 to paint. So around 1260 all said and done.

        Yes please, $60 a wheel is a number I can work with. Prep is no problem.

            Wow okay nevermind Calgary Powdercoat it is. Did your wheels need any repairing at all? The curbrash on mine is very minor but I would want to fix it before paint.

              Calgary powdercoat is a great shop. if you have minor rash, usually a quick hit with a sander can get rid of it. the powder will blend it nicely for you.

                Top gun coatings did my 2 piece 16" bbs rxii wheels a few years ago. I stripped them down and they powdered them for $300 i think. Different prices for 1/2/3 piece wheels

                  Ive decided I'm going to do a bit of wet sanding and power polishing to get my wheels looking like new this year. Probably going to be taking them to Top Gun if I ever need them powdercoated. Thanks for all the info guys!

                    Calgary Powder Coatings did my wheel faces for 50$ each, blasting included and all 60 fastener heads for an additional 100.

                    Alberta Wheel Repair is great for getting curbage fixed and polishing, they paint as well.
