Powder Coating Costs

Got six 17" alloys that I fancy getting powder coated - anyone know how much for a decent job ? Amd can I get the centres to match ?? "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Always been quoted around £200 for 17" wheels, but was also always told that spraying them is better because if you chip powder coated wheels then the coat starts to flake off in chunks! 2014 D4 XS

Yep, Ken is the man for Powdercoating, and/or painting them. He even has a nice set of 19's, the new HSE alloys with MTR's on ebay at the moment Wink

James right and wrong PC way better more durable but this limits colours and finishes but if PC is not done properly then yes it will flake off

I can't find Ken's wheels plus MTR's on ebay... Are they still for sale?
I know the book says D4 only for those new alloys but I can't see why they wouldn't fit a D3?

Going Rate is £60-£80 each wheel irrespective of refurbish condition (as long as its round) This should include

Chemical strip (not Bead Blast)

Repair alloy (Weld & lathe) no resin

Refinish in customers colour choice (within scope of methods)

Sorry as a rule we don't do retail I pass on way below costs when we trial things Thumbs Up
