Powder coat my wheels - Sportbike Addicts

akomplis · 07-17-2006, 02:31 PM

Im thinking about powder coating my wheels...especially since my front rim cracked and was replaced but now I have a polished wheel and a stock black wheel...

In any event looking for some feedback on powder coating:

Pros/Cons
Shops (competetive pricing)
Can I sand blast myself and just take it somewhere to get coated?
Does it corrode or chip easily over time?
Are colors limited?

Here is the email of a guy that does powder coating at a resonable price and from what I've heard does good work. gbtweedy@gmail.com I have pics of some of his work, let me know if you would like to see them.

Also a guy I know had his done through Pompton Honda I think he said he paid 350 to have the set done. They look nice.

Mark knows this kid too. I've met him a few times and he's a nut about bikes! No one can go near his bike, but a cool kid. I suggest letting Mark talk to him first.
