powdercoating wheels?

[97eclipseRS]

ok i will be buying some 17" motegi mr7's in silver from bigboost very soon and i need to get more info on powdercoating. the mr7's he is selling me are silver and if possible i would like to powdercoat them black later on. i was just wondering where you go to get wheels powdercoated and about how much it might cost for this to happen? thanks for any help.

Usually is around $200 for all four wheels. It will differ but that is the average Ive seen.

thats not too bad. its not a definate that i would powdercoat the wheels to being with, i just wanted an idea on price. for all i know the silver will go great with my car but i guess i will have to wait till i have the wheels to know for sure. thanks for the help slappster

Yeah look in your local phone book for places. Expect to pay between $40-$60 a piece.

well i just found out from my dad that i may have a "hookup" through a guy he works with that is good friends with the owner of a body shop so i will find out then if they powdercoat or not. if so, then it looks like i am in good shape. if not, it looks like i will have to take efeezie's advice and check for someone through the phonebook. thanks for the help guys.

If you have a "hookup" and he doesnt powdercoat, get him to paint them. If he has a body shop im sure he has a booth.
