suspenceful Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 I just bought a set of brand new wheels. They didn't have them in the color I wanted (silver). This makes me sad. Who can powdercoat my 19's? And for how much? Happy to trade printing/vinyl/web/graphic services or cash monies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 https://facebook.com/WisCoatCustoms Brendon at WisCoat is up towards you in Cambellsport. He did my brother's 2 piece style 5's for $340 total, $40 for blasting (4hrs x $10/hr is super cheap) and $300 to powder the faces silver and barrels imitation chrome and they turned out great.

HipMF Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 thread hi-jack: Why don't you ever seem to see anodized wheels, as opposed to powdercoat or paint? Seems like a better idea since there's no heat... Something about the alloy? B C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunMetalGrey Posted February 15, 2017 Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Heat is always a point, but I would tend to thing that they would be around a T6 hardness to begin with, and the only thing that you will do to something softer (T4 etc) is aging when you bring it to the GP zone (400 degrees for 1 hour) would be bringing it up to the T6 hardness. This results in a stronger wheel. Those all assume non cast conditions though. That being said check with Dome. I hear that @rampelsauce also powdercoats Edit: For those who like reading dry technical documents I found this guy. It discusses more about cast aluminum and wheels in specific. http://cdn.intechopen.com/pdfs/24039.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set of Konigs I had for a few months was anodized from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
