VR6Nat 9 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 My mate got a whole set of banded steels powered coated round my way for £100. It's dirt cheap!! Phone around mate. that's the route I'm goin. It's a tougher finish too... Link to post Share on other sites
dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 ive had a look at our specialist powders supplier for candy whites and there not showing any But 125 pounds a wheel is very expensive for a powdercoat. Even a tr-stage pearl or candy or a special finish like translucent or wrinkle especially on a 16" wheel would be around 60 pound per wheel max Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 WOW!, yes my car is VW candy white.I did post on my local Dub forum of somewhere local that does it, no one was recommended.Hmmm where shall i start lol, need to get em done, only very minor kerbing on 2 of them, really nothing.It seems obvious that its a little more pricey to get them done a specific VW colour, maybe some powder coating company has a similar white, (not polar ford white/gloss white), and can do it much cheaper!.I'm all ears Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 have a search on google mate - just for powdercoaters and then call them and ask about doing wheels - if they dont have the specific colour you want you could always buy the paint and give it to them Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Nat 9 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yeah will be a lot cheaper of you don't do a car specific colour. But also if you smooth them down, just take them to a commercial powder coater and they will do it a lot cheaper, the finish my friend has was amazing. He's had a grey set and a White set done now.

Caddyslammed 16 Posted December 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 , just spoke to a local company http://www.oif.uk.com/i once had a bike powder coated there when i used to race, they have a selection of colours 200+, £47 a wheel, i know they are good.They said they have a range of whites too.I'll keep, shopping about. i assume my wheels would at least need to be dipped/blasted, and a slight bit of filling or something for the kerbing?cheers Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 depends how bad the kerbing is, the powder coat should get rid of most little marks but yeah anything too bad will need to be sorted, can always get your sander out and have a go at them yourself mate ! and you shouldnt need to do anything else to them the powdercoaters will prepare them Link to post Share on other sites

dubbed_up_daz 8 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 any powdere coated wheels should be dipped and blasted for prep as a bare minimum. If your getting them powdered and the kerbing is sufficiently deep id suggest hetting them welded and reprofiled. With the temperatures slightly above a baked wet paint finish cataloy is not a suitable substitute.That looks like a pretty respectable company. If youve had work done before by them and your happy with the standard of work and price id return to them. Shopping about may save you a few pounds but may not get you the same quality Link to post Share on other sites
