Anyone in Northern BC know where I can get my rims powdercoated? I'm talkin like betweent the coast and PG as I live on the coast and dont want to go further than PG to get it done...not even sure if there are any other Cobalts up here. Any info is appreciated thanks.

I was also thinking of this but was told that it would cost as much as new decent rims anyway.

Hmm I havent seen any that i really like yet, maybe ill just have them painted instead

I looked into coating a set of torque thust II's for my firebird they wanted $120/rim. I only paid about 400 for the set of rims. as you can guess I walked away.

Well like I said I havent seen any rims that I really like, the only rims I've seen that I like are a set of Enkei's which are $187/rim so if I can get $120/rim for powder coating I think I'd take it.

soory i cant help you due to your geographic location. but a shop near me quoted me 100/Pr or $200 for 4 rims. inc. sandblast, primer, adn 2 coats of powder.

sure they werent talking paint?? because powder doesnt really work in layers and the "primer" would be the sandblasting because the powder sticks right to the metal

Well.......if decided on powder coating then go for it. What color is your cobalt? You have not posted any pics>>>>>mine is red and would go with flat black. I am looking into cost locally in Vancouver and will let you know what I can get it done for.

Yeah I was thinking black because I will be getting the windows tinted soon so that would look pretty slick with the rims black matching the tint.

interesting...il have to ask my guy how he does it because i always thought that because it ws electrically charged powder and metal, that it would only stick to the metal...my guy just cant do rims yet, his oven isnt big enough.

idk my only thought is the primer must have metallic properties
