Sorry man, with the new job i no longer have Powder Coating capabilities, there are a few shops around Denver but expect to pay around $120 per rim, they rape people with labor. If you can i would try blasting and cleaning the rims yourself the powder coating process only takes 30 minutes per rim and the powder costs damn near nothing.

hmmm may have something, the problem is that you can look at the powder and like it but it will always be different when it is applied and baked.

these guys are saying it is 50 per wheel.... i need to see some pics or product that he's done before i pull the trigger but he is looking to be the least expensive at the moment.

I think some of these coatings would be awesome. They're made to protect milling cutters from tremendous abrasion and heat. Dunno the price though.

Mark is the owner. I had all four done for $120 including sandblasting. I'm sure different wheels may cost more.

I'm currently getting my two wheels powder coated at Pristine Powder Coating in Englewood*. Quoted at $130. Will pick them up around Wednesday and do a review.
