Wheel Powder Coating??
Has anyone actually had wheels powder coated? Can anyone recommend a good powder coater with experience in wheels, preferably one who uses low-temp powders?

Top Koat is who did the valve cover when I had my '99. He did really nice work on it.

I, and quite a few friends/customers of mine, have used TRG Coating with nothing less than excellent results. http://www.trgcoating.com
..but if you're balking at $100 a wheel, it's a useless recommendation (even more so since you'd have to cover shipping costs too).
Yup, not gonna spend half the wheel's value for cosmetics. Thx for all the suggestions.

Just use some Elmers and gold glitter.
And Elbow Macaroni!
100 bucks a wheel!? Is that for the 24 karat gold powder coat!? lol
I have no experience in this so I really can't comment lol, but that sounds like a good chunk of change.
400 can get you a brand new midpipe Mike!

This is probably in your budget http://www.krylon.com/
M3 is always the answer.
OK, i get it, PC is expensive. Thanks for the info. If I was building a show car or had $500 wheels, I'd see it differently. My slightly chipped wheels suddenly look fantastic.

That's the rub. Personally, spending $100 to powdercoat things under the hood is a "waste of money" to me for the most part, but $100 a wheel is well worth it if I wanted to change my wheel color.
And FWIW, it'd cost you nearly $100 each to repair chipped wheels. Most powdercoaters would just coat *over* the chips..fixing the chips would be an additional cost.
$65.00
Ozmod, I have my Vette at the AutoRama and talked to the guys at Quality Powder Coating, LLC in Carrollton yesterday.
Their work looked great.
$65.00 per wheel and they had lots of colors. I really liked the bright silver.
No affiliation but their number is 972-488-0635.
If you deal with them just say you got it from a friend at the AutoRama. We need good folks to keep coming back.
