Hey everyone. I live in the chicagoland area and i want to get my rims powdercoated or painted black. I have an 09 ss tc. If anybody has a respectable place to get this done that would be great. How much would i be looking at too?

 

xniglex. ask him. he knows alot about powdercoating.

 

heres a little teaser for ya ...

 

ya those look pretty sick.......do they chip or crack at all? ive heard some bad things about powdercoating

 

mine are painted but yea they chip cause i didnt do enough layers.....preped em really good but not enough paint too keep from rock chips...

 

if u want some powder coating/info lemme know

 

I would like some info......can you do it or do you know a good place to do it?

 

Powedercoating is more durable than paint. The problem is once chipped, you need to recoat the whole thing where as a rattle can you can do touch up work on

 

Don't do it. Silver looks better than black. If you do powder coat go gold or bronze.

 

The gloss black does look good, I was told they chip easier then satin or flat black thats why I went with satin instead
