    Why not use the conventional paint method?I've been in industrial painting and some powder coating for years and yes powder coating is nice and is frailly strong vs. paint, but when powder coat starts to chip it's a major pain to fix.You can get just as nice of a finish with paint and if you use the good paint it will hold and be easier to fix than p c .Just my .02 cents!

    I thought of that and might do that depending on how much powder coating costs

    I checked out both dylans coatings and prism. Dylans wanted $250 and prism wanted $500. I was hoping it would cost less than $150 for 4 wheels, but since I've never got anything powdercoated, I didn't know. I think I'm just gonna paint the wheels myself, but clearly Dylans coatings is the better deal. They were both gonna media blast the wheels and then coat them

    We paint wheels and bake them under I.R. lamps. Works Well.

    $250 is a great price. Unless your doin all the prep work (sand blasting etc) I think 150 is bit of a pipe dream. We do powdercaoting in house but were in Erie PA Its just like painting all the hard work is in the prep. The better the prep work the better the finished product.

    If you are anywhere near Natrona Heights, go to Roenigks Fleet Tire Service. They have really good pricing and are good dudes to work with. They did my wheels for much less than anywhere else in the area that i got prices from.
