$175 to powdercoat 1 rim, good price?

oilcrankinject · 02-08-2010, 10:41 PM

I want Breyton GTS rims in matte black so I will have to get a set powdercoated. Is $175 per rim too much or good enough?

Norb · 02-08-2010, 11:12 PM

Its way to much, max $80 per rim not more!

iAerodynamic · 02-08-2010, 11:14 PM

that's wayy too much.....

i heard places charge like $320 for a set of 4

335iMIAMI · 02-08-2010, 11:23 PM

I know a shop 280 all 4

AndreM818 · 02-08-2010, 11:32 PM

JayKay335i · 02-08-2010, 11:34 PM

WAYYYY to much. Might as well buy a new set of rims at that price.

oilcrankinject · 02-09-2010, 02:36 AM

Ok then tell me where I get it done for cheaper. I live in Germany so the rims will be mailed from Tire Rack to the place then the place will have to mail the rims back to the Tire Rack.

jerzyjr · 02-09-2010, 06:33 AM

I was quoted $350 for 4 as long as yoou dont have damage on them that needs to be repaired first

What shop and where? I also need to know if they can receive my rims from TR and if they could ship them back to TR after they are PC.

oilcrankinject · 02-09-2010, 09:33 AM

Well crap. TR wont take the rims back to mount the tires. Its not a big set back I just need to find a shop to mount low profile tires in Germany. ATU had a hard enough time mounting my 40 series winter tires.

Nice but through who?

Gary@TireRack · 02-10-2010, 07:18 AM

Are you guys referring to a simple repaint (spray) or actual powder coating?

oilcrankinject · 02-10-2010, 07:53 AM

I am talking about powercoating.

claykin · 02-11-2010, 08:06 AM

Are you sure they are going to powdercoat them? I've seen 2 shops in So. FL say they powdercoat, but in fact they use liquid car paint. Looks fine, but doesn't stand up to road debris and rocks as well as powder.

Also, not all powders are created equal. There's polyester powders, epoxy powders... What are you getting? There's also various manufacturers with some manufactured in Europe, USA and even......China!. Get more details on the spec of the finish they provide, Hopefully, its a quality brand such as PPG, Spraylat, 3M, etc..

i get 120 dollars in Estonia for your reference so you are not THAT far off.... in US these guys have it cheap, especially in places like Cali where there is lots of demand (or so it seems).

ouch.

Well I ordered my tires from TR 245 front 275 rear so I would like to get my rims soon but if I cant find a place that will PC my rims for a decent price, crap.

Gary@TireRack · 02-16-2010, 11:01 AM

I think svtfast has been getting quote on actual powder coating, which will cost much more than standard liquid sprays/repaints. I'd be skeptical of a shop charging less than $200 for a pair (2) wheels as it was my understanding the the materials, labor, equipment and expertise involved would probably exceed that cost. Most wheels are liquid spray type automotive grade paint, so perhaps you could find a better price with acceptable quality from a body shop or automotive repainter.
