Powder Coating Question/Help!! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BLACKssMiami · 01-28-2013, 07:57 PM

After looking on cars.com for months, I finally got my car. It's a 2012 2ss/rs ls3. I really want to get my rims powder coated gloss black. I called up several local powder coating places (South FL) and they all said i would need to have my rims taken off and brought there. There is EXTREMELY INCONVENIENT for me. I dont even know how i would take them off or where i could keep my car for three days with no wheels on it. I need some help and suggestions!

How did you think they were going to do it? THey have to bake them

Mchlgrrsn · 01-28-2013, 07:59 PM

suggestion ... dont powder coat them

daveagogo1 · 01-28-2013, 08:03 PM

Either you deal with the hassle or you buy some already done and sell your rims. No other way around it unless someone has a spare set sitting around they will let you use for a few days.

Mine are powder coated gloss black and clear coated. Love mine.

I'm likely to have my set available in 2-3 weeks if your interested but it'd be a long trek to tampa

lscamaro · 01-28-2013, 10:29 PM

If you don't mind my asking, how much did they quote you to powdercoat them?

Check out ohio-speed.com, they have them for $199 each shipped right now, $800 for 4 new wheels

You could try plastidipping them, with a glossifier. At least then you wouldn't have to take em off. Sure it's not powder coating them, but you can still get a pretty good look.
