    Default 1961 Series II 88 Powdercoating 16 wheels

    Got my 16" wheels off my 1961 88 and I am getting them ready to go to the Powdercoater. I will be posting pics of progress.

    They charge around 50.00 a rim depending on how much that have to sand blast it and prep to get ready to coat. These guys usually bake this stuff once to get any oil, brake fluid, or other fluids out of the metal. Then they powdercoat them. They would probably powdercoat your wheels, but I am sure you would have to pay shipping both ways.

    I see you're in Lake O. Les Schwab will blast and powder coat for roughly $40/rim. I had them do mine a couple years back and they came out great.

    I did mine with a local shop that I found on yelp. $45 a rim including media blasting. And they has a wide enough range of standard colors that I easily matched limestone. They look great.

    is the gold coloration of your panels the aluminum primer/coating rover used?? Ive seen glimpses of that color on mine in places. Looks nice like that. .
