Looking to powder coat my rims that have very little to no curbing, anyone know where I can get this done for a decent price? Preferably in SE Melb

from what I have been told powercoating rims is not the best idea as it is difficult to get an even coat or something.

Same colour or different?
There are quite a few places that do a good job.

Pavo, a good powdercoating job will be exceptionally even and less susceptible to human variation that can occur when painting.

yeh the dudes that did his want 250 a wheel LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[pavo335]

Shit dude are you a peasant? Just buy a new set of rims and tyres

[sbce90]

Mine was 175 per wheel and I didn't bother shopping around for cheaper. Proper sand blasting/stripped back/coated/baked etc..

have spoken to all of the below and they are charging around 250 per wheel...

if i was going to pay that much I would go with

http://www.paintwerks.com.au/

have found a dude in Bayswater who will do it $90 a wheel but I think dads mate will do them for free for me, just need to get the wheels off and to his factory... sigh

Just got my bad boy back from getting painted, had asked for satin black finish, however they put an extra coat of gloss on and its come up rather glossy.

Am extremely happy with it and they said that the paint needs to dry for a couple of days before they re-finish it in satin, so ill think i will go with gloss the next couple of weeks and then change to satin if i dont like it.

Got a really good price, considering everyone else quoted me $250 per wheel.

Overall really happy, some crappy iPhone pics for your enjoyment.

also my gloss black grills are arriving, so ill get some proper photos up soon

[sbce90]

Looks good and will look even better once the grills are on. Have you thought about getting some black numberplates as well? Those white/blue ones are fugly.
