Anybody have their wheels powder coated? I have the hole wheels and am thinking about having them powder coated with a design on them. Just wondering if anybody has done this and any feed back on the finished product.

Pics would be great!

 

We're going to be doing a powder coating project this winter. My husband has all the equipment. We're taking white V-spokes that I bought off ebay and powder coating them black. Once we quit procrastinating, I'll post pics

 

When I went to the River City Mini's 'Cooper Vineyards' event, one of them had a LY with yellow powercoated S-Lites:

 

wow. that wheel color ^^^ looks a lot better than I would have thought. Perhaps I need to reconsider my color choice.

 

yah! but check out the PW's black wheels with red centers and polished lip...yummy!

 

**how far are u from Carlisle?

im thinkin' of doin' the same only im shippin' mine so if u think u might want to pick up sum extra cash let me know...im g00d for it!!
i would want to do my 2-piece wheels ....

 

I love to powder coat my extra s-lites black

 

Anyone in the Virginia Region who wants anything powdercoated, I know a place that does great work. Just let me know. I'll have pics of my special order wheels up as soon as I have them mounted.

I think Samurai Will just had some done. - DOH! - thats what happens when you don't read to the end of the thread before you post

Different car, but i powdercoated my wheels with my dad in our garage... 2 weeks before i had an accident and sold the car off but i did get a couple pictures.







Testing the center cap (which i never ended up putting on):



dirty after driving a few hundred miles to a miata meet 2 days before accident:





I'm sorry i got crappy shots... but it's so much fun to powder coat, and they're so sexy afterwards

Jack's Yellow PC wheels look awesome in person... but nothing compares to Samurai Will's new wheels. They look incredible!

 

details pls...

 

i wanted to get mine powdercoated too, but instead i went to home depot bought some wetsand paper and 2 cans of high gloss spray paint. all together i spent less than $15. i think it's all worth it.

 

Heehee... I was going to link you to this thread

Yes, they are awesome!

I'm still thinking of doing something special to mine too.

 

Trippple dam! That PW with black looks great, I might do that. My other thought was to have the union jack done on the wheels, but that black looks sweeeeet.

 

spray paint huh?

did u get sum over spray on the floor! next to ur tyres.....
on the pic u show

Powdercoated Falkens.

 

I bent one of my Hamman's slightly at the track one time and could never get the silver paintto match properly . I ended up powder coating them all and having the outer lip polished for good measure. It was a two stage powder coat called black chrome.

Heh! If I don't get them mounted by the weekend, I'll link up some pics. They really don't do the job justice, though...

Ok, some noob powder coating questions.

1. How durable is the finish?
2. Does it add weight to the wheel and how much?
3. What is the typical cost?

TIA

 

1. Very durable so far and I have about 25k miles on them.

2. I do not think the added weight would be noticeable. It is basically thick paint

3. Mine were on the expensive side do to the nature of the 2 stage powder coat and the need to have them done as perfectly as possible for the show/ promo circuit. They were 160 per wheel for the powder coat and 90 for the polish lip.

 

Thanks.
