Anyone know any shops in the bay area that can repair curb rims and powdercoat them at the same place?
Thinking about powdercoating the ap2 V1s white.
Prefer somewhere close to SF, although I'm will to travel a bit if there's nothing within immediate SF area.

'ES2k'

Try Memoryfab.com

All Memoryfab is going to do is outsource it to someone else.

I could swear there was a post about the weakening effects powder coating has on OEM rims. One of our members powdercoated his AP2 V1s and was fortunate to have someone flag him down just as he was merging onto a track during HPDE. Turns out three of his four rims had developed stress fractures...

EDIT: Found a thread with pics. See CKITs post about 5 or 6 down from the top.

This will ONLY happen if you over-age the alloy -- the person powder coating needs to know what type of material it is, and what is a safe temperature and duration to powder coat the wheels at. If you go hotter or longer than spec'ed you will overage the material and weaken the material.
