Anyone mnow my options on powder coating?

I wanna powder coat the 05 stockers bronze. How much would that cost? and where can i get it done?

How long does it take?


lol sooo many questions... anyone ever done it before?

Pros/Cons?

ty

 

I had my AP1's done
in Bowling Green...KY


it was under $250

took about 2 weeks

that included the sandblasting (b/c the factory wheel has a clear on it, plus road grime and imperfections)


results...I like em.

 

ouch... 2 weeks? what do i do for wheels for 2 weeks? lol

 

I've got a friend local that owns a powdercoating shop. Even being good friends with the guy I had to wait a week. Your gonna have to come up with another ride for at least that long....It helps to have a spare set of wheels. Also plan on the cost/hassle of getting the tires dismounted and remounted. I doubt the powdercoater will do that for you. Make sure the tire shop has a rubber head for their wheel mounting machine too.

 

oh yeah, pro's/con's...

I loved the results. I might even do it again....I sold my other set because I needed money, but I loved my wheels.

No real downside. Nosman heard a rumor that powdercoating can weaken the aluminum, but I think that's BS. The heat of cooking the wheels is not that hot. 450 degrees IIRC.

 

Sweet... ill try to find a set of replacement wheels...

not 100% sure im still doing it.

when i get the car repaired (it got hit, see other thread) i may sell it and go back to an AP1... and a bike... or a Silvia... not sure yet... im keeping this one till the end of summer definatly tho...
