Default Powder coating....

Has anyone powder coated aluminum wheels before? I have a set of street car wheels that are currently polished but in poor condition. Clear coating is peeling off and they look like a mess. Rather than buying new wheels I was thinking about blasting them and coating them. Any luck and good sources in Wisconsin?

I know "You Spray It" blasts them and I have heard the coat them as well....

Please let me know
thanks!
Corky!

Corky,

I've used these guys in the past and they do a pretty good job. They also do jet hot coatings as well. I've used them in the past for coating aluminum wheels.

hotrod guys do this all the time. I like powder coat, personally. It's a good step between oxide type coatings and plating.
