I think I want to powder coat my wheels black. Can anyone recommend a place local to do it? What's a fair price to pay?

There is obviously more out there but the only one I can think of is just NW of Waterbury on RT8. two exits up if I remember correctly on the left side heading for Winstead.
Sorry, can't remember the name. Hopefully someone else has been ther more receintly than me.

They are alluminum wheels. If I took them to a powder coating place, would they be able to do the sandblasting for me? I don't have access to anything to do that.

They should be able to... I have never been to a powdercoat place that doesn't have a bead blaster.
if they are aluminum another choice is anondizing. probably more $$$ but gives it a nice finish.
light metals in southington does it.

Just used this company to strip and powder coat my 2 tubular race car chassis a few months ago. Highly recommended. They also do other coatings as well check out their site pretty informative. Good luck!

I called them and they wanted $85 a wheel to powder coat :shock: :shock:
I'll just put the wheels for sale and buy the black rockcralwer wheels I want.
Anyone need a set of American Racing AR-23's, 15x8, 3.75" of backspacing? I'd sell the 4 for $200.

A good friend of mine of owns a powdercoat shop in New Haven,
Most of the cost in the common colors (blacks, grays) is in the setup and they run black stuff all of the time.
When I got a quote for Frank the Dog we were looking at about 30-35 a wheel and I believe that included sanblasting and a clear coat.
I also remember Marc (my friend) mentioning that they could bring the cost down in volume to near $25.
PM me if you need more info.

IMO, even $25 a wheel is too much, considering you can buy new black steelies for $35 a piece on quadratec.com (http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sg...QA=1&UREQB=2&UREQC=3&UREQD=4&FNM=00&x=76&y=68), unless you REALLY like they style of them. Shipping is like $20 for 5 wheels, and because they ship from PA I got mine in under a week. 8)
