anyone know wher you can get powder coatings?

 

powder coating for what?

look up in the phonebook, tons of places do it, but you need to know about who does it....

 

In Missouri and Kansas there is a place called the hub cap and wheel store. They do it very inexpensively. I was actually thinking about doing the same thing myself. Does anyone have any reviews of having their wheels powdercoated in terms of chips and scratches?

 

if its really powdercoating, then its very durable, if its jsut ghetto paint it will chip..... powdercoating requires an oven for the stuff to actually cook onto what its on, and creates pretty much a solid polymer like surface

 

well like what kinda stores i guess is my question. im trying tio powder coat my new tube from the ISR mod

 

Look in the Yellow Pages under "Coatings".

 

Look under "sandblasting" too.
I use to have a job doing both. (a lot of sandblasters also powder coat)
Whatever your having done needs to be bare metal finish (no grime, paint, rust, etc.) for the powder coat to work properly!

 

Powder coating works very well on wheels, especially on aluminum and magnesium.......I've coated a set of each in the past and was very happy with the results......the best thing is most powder coaters can do many different textures and colors to suit your taste,......rocks will still take it off, but I haven't found anything that will hold up to that kind of abuse

 

I agree with Steve. We powder coat anything that has a chance of rusting... it is the only thing that will hold up (which is a relative term when you're talking about offroading) If you are having one small thing powder coated then you will pay more. Around here, one can get something small sandblasted and powdercoated for around $50.00. Try to contact a place that is small, that way you won't get screwed over as bad as a large company. If they specialize in mass quantity runs, you will pay out the ass.
