| Post subject: | Looking for powder coating hookup |
I got introduced to this site by Sam at RRE. I was there last night and he tuned my 2G Spyder to 265 HP (I asked him to stay conservative)... I'm searching for a shop with a good price on powder coating my stock 2G wheels (non chrome) to black. Possibly somewhere that will do the unmount/mounting of the tires. I imagine no tire shop would like to keep my car on a jack for the day or days while the job gets done somewhere else. Or am I supposed to leave the car on jack stands at home? |

I'm betting you have to remove the wheels from the car and then the tires from the rims and just take the rims in for treatment. |

I think I'm just looking for something that doesn't exist - a shop that would take the car, and do everything from 1st step to last for a good price. I should save my dough and paint them myself...It's the same amount of work, especially if you consider driving around with the wheels to get unmounted, etc etc. |

Just do it all yourself i do all my rims & they come out to powdercoating standards. Jusst put vaseline grease o watever on your tires sand the rims to no gloss at all...1st of all clean them out with disgreaser....After sanding everything from back to front. get primer & primer them up...then get watever color you wants a few cans so u can coat them like 3x each. |

powder coating ruins your center cap a little. your better off painting the rims with car paint or can. |

I decided to paint them. I have spent a couple hours today cleaning the crap out of the wheels. One question...Can I use the green Scotch Brite to "sand" the wheel down? I don't see how sand paper is going to get into the small edges (i tried today). Also do I sand/scotch brite when wet, or dry? |

Okay I gave up after an hour and a half. Removing the old paint off the wheel is way too much work. I'm going to either attempt to redo this with a dremel tool or just shell out $200-300 to get them powder coated. I'd get new wheels but my tires are brand new right now. |
