[nismo]

Hey there guys/gals,I have question. I was thinkin bout powder coating my wheels. And I was wondering, what kind of places do this kind of stuff?Inder

[Merzbow]

You just gave me an idea. I want to powder coat my roof rails black. So let me know if you find anyplaces that can do that.

[scherry2]

look up powder-coating in the phone book. I powder-coated my roof rails, they look great.

[nismo]

Thanks cherry. I'll check that out. And Paul, you gave me an idea too, I think I'm gonna powder coat my roof rails gunmetal. That would sooo good. Guess we'll have to see to find out. BUt you can do it first, see how they come out then I'll do mine.Inder

[scherry2]

powder-coating the aluminum rails is a plus because you can paint them any color if you don't like the initial powder-coat. here is what mine looks like.

I took the rails off and took them in. I used to have a how to on taking the rails off on this site.

Who did you call? I have some 17's I am planning on using next summer but they need to be refinished. Did the company have a website?

[nismo]

it's called J & M Coating Inc. They're in Hartland, MI. I wouldn't pay that much for powder coating. Cuz I could buy some new wheels for that much if I was get some cheap ones.Inder

You might also want to check out some custom motorcycle shops. They usually do frame and wheel powdercoating. It's worth a shot.Also, check around because prices can vary widely. $80 per wheel sounds really high.

[nismo]

Yeah, that's what I said.Inder
