Powdercoating Sportivo Rims.

[Strawberryface]

Hey guys since RME1 didn't get an exact response on powdercoating the stock sportivo rims, i'll try again. Im very interested in powdercoating the sportivo rims a dark bronze color and would like to know places in Sydney where this can be done. Have any of you ever had rims powdercoated before? and if so how much would it cost and is it durable?

speak to indecent on the forum.

Hey Strawberry face :P nice nick, have u checked out the yellow pages? -the online website is quite helpful

i checked out some places in melbourne and they charge for:

1. Sandblasting - (to get the grit and stuff off so the powder bits actually stick on)

2. Powdercoating

*they prefer or only take rims that have no tyre .... $_$ ....and charge depend on how clean the rims are $_$ and charge per rim $_$

quotes i got form Melbourne:

-to take off the tires $25 for four

-sand blasting $20-40 per rim

- powdercoating $40-60 per rim

so all together, around maybe $80-100 per rim...they're really picky about whether or not the rims are brand new or not B)

Hope it helps strawberry face! :D

Wow bit more than i was expecting but cheaper than a new set of rolling stock nonetheless.

Gesh!! That looks decent shao!!

hmm!! where can you find one in Brsibane?

[Slurdog]

WOA, those look schmick as!!.

I got quoted $300 to paint all 5 rims in black with a silver fleck through it.

But now im thinking Powdercoating may be more durable,

What do you lot reckon?? painting or Powder coating?? That gun metal grey would look awesome on a silver car.

Cheers

i can't remember who did them now

u gotta talk to weiwei. coz those are his stock wheels which he sold to a mate who drives an EG civic, who borrowed my P1s(then) for the colour-coding exercise.

shaohaok nice pics!

indecents rims look exactly the same on his black stivo! Looks awsome!

[CAP]

So were those powder coated or simply baked enamel which would be about $50 per wheel?

[RedLiner]

Are you suggesting a group buy??

hehe :D

no i didnt tell him...ill prob go in person and ask..so they can have a look at the type of wheels..i tried describing them to him...but i dont think he got the idea

it could be cheaper if u powdercoat just the outside...

so what are the exact numbers of ppl interested...

I think there is a difference between painting and powdercoating.
