Scientific Metas in Santa Clara used to be pretty cheap but havent gave them a ring in a while. You could always give them a call and give them your wheels specs for a estimate.

 

paid $180 to powdercoat those:

 

they do a horrible job

 

I had mine done there a bit over a year ago for $265 total. Quality work, but somewhat limited color options.

 

would powder coating rotas weaken them? Or is that only on forged wheels

 

I already answered that question earlier in this thread. A low temp bake won't weaken the metal, forged or otherwise, but not all places do low temp so you need to ask them up front. From what I've read, it is more significant to forged than cast/machined though.

 

Paid to sandblast, powder coat and gloss

 

Why would you gloss them? Powdercoating doesn't need a clear coat.

 

maybe he likes it shiiiiiiiinnny

 

LOL. The powdercoat itself comes in gloss Mine are satin because I didn't want them shiiiiiiiinnny. But white definitely looks better in gloss.

 

Correction, it was a glossy shiny powder coat

 

Question:

Where did you go magnum3zx and BuiltNotBought?

Thanks...

 

i know i'm bumping an old thread but just in case anyone is researching the same -

spraytechnology.net is now joespowder.com. he's still running the special of $75/wheel. it includes bead blasting but price may increase a bit depending on how much work needs to be done. he has quite a selection of colors to choose from and if your center caps are plastic, can paint them for you depending on the PC color.

i'm probably going to have work done by joe in the next two weeks or so. getting the stock enkei's done in black or a dark gunmetal with a slight sheen. i'll post results once everything is said and done.

if for any reason you guys have input/info against this shop or can highly recommend another, please let me know!

 

thanks for the heads up sickmt. I started looking into this again.
