powder coating wheels
My custom wheels have seen better days, I would like to get them powder coated ( I think ). The EPA has made re-chroming a past time of the idle rich.

Probably around 25-50 each depending on what color, and what kind of clean up they need. (If they are Chrome that's going to have to be removed.)

re: powder coating wheels
I think some new cars wheels are powder coated from factory. I may be wrong about that, but paint with clear coat over it holds up, so powder coat should hold up fine.

re: powder coating wheels
I've seen a set on a bug that are powered coated and etched . Actually factory karman Ghia spokes , powder coated spokes black and had the outer bead edges scrolled like the chrome on the 60 series Impala "SS"
