i want to get my stock rims powder coated for winter and figured it would cost a 200 300 bucks. so i started looking up kits to see how much it would cost to do it myself. also i could do a few other things. i found this http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=94244 . so my question is does anybody know of any good kits that you use/ process of doing it ? or am i better of just taking it somewhere?

 

just get some paint a DIY is out their

 

rims cost about $150 each to have powder coated.i asked my 2 powder coaters.

 

the problem with that kit is you cant sand blast the part first to get it to bare metal and ready for the powder and you cant bake it on without an oven big enough.

 

around here i got quoted 250 for all four rims sand blasted and powdercoated so im just waiting for the mod money to come in

 

You dont need to sandblast, you can powdercoat chrome just as long as the surface is REAL clean.
A 17 inch wheel will fit in a standard home oven. I have a powdercoater from craftsman...nice lil unit works GREAT. Got it for 50 bucks on clearance, then bought a standard oven on line locally and keep it in the garage. Good luck getting hooked up. Overall its not hard.

 

my uncle sandblast and my brother works at sears. see if i can get a good deal. plus try to find an oven for the garage

 

Having a custom finished wheel for winter is about as practical as having a civic for off road use. Use factroy wheels for winter

 

thats what these are. i want them to be black tho since everything else on my truck is.

 

i think im going to try the paint method from the faq section by teacher. since it should only be $50
