He quoted me 650.00 for 4 wheels...I could pick up a set of brand new black wheels off ebay for less.

yeah but the thing is, painted isn't nearly as durable as powdercoated. its up to you but i think its money well spent. oh and ebay wheels balance like garbage. just my thoughts.

$150 a wheel is a very good price to strip, clean, and lay down a perfect layer of powder coat.

The right way to do it is to bake them impurities off, then alch clean them thoroughly, the hang and coat them. Sanding them just makes scratches that can cause imperfections in the finish and it doesn't remove oil and other impurities.

i didn't notice any scratches or anything. i don't think you really have to take it down to bare metal, it's probably recommended but not completely necessary from my experience.

All depends how long you want it to last. If you don't remove everything before you put the powder on, it can try to bake off while you are trying to bake the powder on. Next time it gets a little knick, the whole powder job starts to peel.

We perform powder coating in-house. We have completed numerous powdercoated rim packages lately.
You can give us a call direct for pricing. I can give you a rough sketch on pricing:
$125 per Aluminum wheel - Includes wheel prep, 1 stage powdercoat process, dismount, mount, balance.
Heavily damaged wheels, chrome finish, multi-stage powders (i.e. metallic), etc. will add to the price.
We have dozens of colors in stock or can order any specific color. We use only the best powders from caswell-plating.com so you can choose your own colors.

That is a really good deal especially with the R&R + balance of the tires included!

I agree....very good pricing at TTP. The major portion of the cost comes from the prep. The wheels need to be blasted.....sanding is not the correct way to go. You need a physical bond between the powder and the metal. Not only that, you also need the electrical charge running through the part to make the powder adhere correctly before baking.
Not sure what process TTP uses but we always use 2 coats on all of our parts...either two coats of color, or one color and one clear powder as extra protection.

I will gladly vouch for Paul's [Hardcore Zs] work. He did some AMC emblems for me in a glossy black that was so deep they looked like they were made outa porcelain when he was done with 'em. And he also helped me out by hanging out late so I could drop 'em off and pick 'em up after work. Right after the New Year I'm gonna be dropping off more stuff for him to do. I agree that price sometimes has to be a big consideration, but I know that Paul will always go the extra mile for me, and he treats my stuff like it's his own.

Agreed. Paul does a great job. I had him do the front end parts on my '69 and they came out awesome. I'd post the pics but they don't do the parts justice.
