Thats not a bad price for the rims. I sold a set of Camaro rims to a friend who had them powder caoted and they charged about 65 just for the inserts on the rims. The black badges are pretty neat.

You should as long as the powder coater did the prep correctly. I know that when I worked at the machine shop we powdercoated several items and they are extremly tough.

Let me know how the powder coating works out for you. Nice effort on the badges, but personally I dont like the look. How does it look in person?

I like the badges - I have been thinking about doing that myself. I have been quoted in my area 50 dollars a wheel - so I would say 45 is a good price.
