i have some rims that i want to get powder coated
can any1 tell me where i can get this done in the western sububrs ?

I've had piping coated by mr powdercoat in williamstown. was cheap as fark and top quality.

you got a number for them

9399 2955

Be careful with the rims!!!

We got ours done at Mr powder coat too!!!

Im talking nearly 40 rims too.

There isnt one rim that doesnt have the powder coat flaking off. Chips of easy when they get a knock, dont even let me tell you what happens when we get a tyre changed!!! FARK!

Come check them out at winton on the weekend i you wanna see what they look like.

yea ive seen them b4 they look ok ,,

then do u no of a better place to get the rims powdercoated ,, from what ur saying they dont do to good of a job

Strange considering my intercooler piping doesn't have a single flake missing after being on a car thats driven daily through some of the shittest and dirtiest roadworks/industrial areas...also scraped it on a driveway once or twice which i was sure would destroy the coat, but remains perfectly intact

we havent tried anywhere else, but i dont know if powdercoating works good if they dont prep them perfectly???

Our rims were also brand new in boxes so they didnt have to clean oil or shit too.....

yeah i'm in the same boat, the powder coat joints down my way don't want to do my wheels coz of the whole flaking off thing. so i'm thinking of just going paint....

I used to go to a joint in Airport west, let me remmeber the name off it tho.
They even powdercoated chrome parts (deff not the best surface to coat) and I had no flaking or anything, the coat lasted a few years of knocks.
I dont see what the big problem is with powdercoating wheels? If its preped decent I dont see why it cant last

Edit:
T & C powdercoating

theres a place just off somerville we've used in the past. over the road from Skyreach access?(at the lights turn left down beside them and its over the road).

Hey Dude, do you remember how much they charge????

cheers

No idea.
Give them a buzz and ask?

we paid around $40 a rim. but we had a lot done.

just make sure they prep them properly, or you may be sorry. I would be prepared to pay a litle extra to get a better job done.

I would also try and leave the wheels for a week or two if posible, as they seem to harden up a bit. I think ours could have used that.

hmmm, interesting. well i'll be talking to a spraypainter tomorrow and i'll see what he thinks

$40 a rim? thats cheap as hell!!!
i was quoted $50 just for the prep job (sand blasting, etc)
powdercoating would be extra

Yeah, go there! Their called (APA) Action Powder Applicators or something like that! Just look it up in the yellow pages! Top work, they done a rocker cover 4 me ages ago! Turned out tuff & very scrach/chip proof!
