Hi guys,
pretty keen on getting my wheels powder coated black. Anyone know someone in Adelaide that can do a good deal for 4 wheels?

Just want some advice I have the pearl white Soarer so what colour should I get the wheels coated?

Sounds good, I got mine blasted, a crack repaired and powder coated for $250 i think.

I got mine done is satin black/semi gloss black, 2 years on and they are still sweet. (see profile)

Matte black will show up any oil as shiny and wont last in my opinion..

Stay away from the gutters, it will look crap if you chip it, but for $30 you could just do it again :-)

Hayden,

If you are going matt then I would just do it with a $3 can from cheap as chips. They will always look dirty too. Otherwise just come out to Malalla and I can paint them brake dust matt black for you...

Satin or gloss would be much better. Black wheels with a red pinstripe look tough. Black wheels on their own look like you might be about to commit a felony.

also, where are you getting it done? I never looked into it as I thought it would cost too much, but $120 for a set is very reasonable.

There is a fence place near home that advertises powdercoating. Every time I drive past I say to myself I should stop, but never do.

A place called prestige coating is who I rang. They are having a look Monday and said I need to get them sand blasted which isn't much either. Then they are dipping the wheels in something. I was also thinking white wheels with like a clear or gloss on them.

They might be acid dipping the wheels to get rid of any contaminates maybe.

Keen to hear how it all goes. I wanted to powder coat my supra rims fluro green. I ended up paining them, but I reckon the cost of the fluro paint (not cheap!), white base, and clear coat would probably have cost me more than $120. And don't forget how much labour I put into them.
