I did a little bit of searching, but didn't find the answer. I seen 2 local shops that it seems most guys use.....Hi-Tech and Mekala. But does anybody know if they can Powder coat just the face of the rim, and keep the lip polished? All the wheels I've seen have had the entire wheel powder coated. Anybody seen this done before?

 

my friend at hawaii custom rods says mekala is super good and can do anything you want.......even a chromish powder coating as well as many different colors of black and black chrome powder coat too

 

Thanks for the response. I'm not trying to make the lip look chrome though. The wheel already has a polished lip and painted face. I just want the painted portion a different color. Thanks for the reply though.

 

well if thats the case they can definatley keep the lip pollished what theyll do probably is tape off the lip and magnetize the rest of the rim put on the powder and bake it so i cant see why that couldnt be done....my friend says that they charge around 60 bucks a rim good luck

 

o'rly! hmmmm

 

BUMPED
Does anybody know if these or any other places locally still powder coat rims?

 

$60 a rim seems like a really good deal

 

^^^^^yeah but you have to bring the rim bare meaning you have to bring it in clean and without tire
