how much to powdercoat wheels
femster87 - 10/11/10 at 03:56 PM

I have had a quote to powdercoat my wheels for £35 each. Is this the going rate?

There's a place in Idle, Bradford that does (or used to do less than a year ago) strip and powdercoating for a quid per inch (diameter). Fancier finishes (chrome, 2 colour etc.) cost more of course.
I've heard nothing but good stuff about them, I found out about them just as I'd finished sanding/stripping/priming/painting and clear coating a set of 4 wheels, with £40-50 worth of rattle cans
They don't fill any dents/scratches, they bake the wheels in an oven to strip the old paint then powdercoat them.

Just make sure that they clean the wheels properly. I paid £45 per wheel at a place just outside Carlisle and the guy chucks them up on the lathe and skims the rim if it is marked (but not too much)!. Does a nice job.

Ooh I'll make a note of that, mine are looking a bit tatty and that's not many miles from me! Cheers.
