    Default Powdercoating

    Can anyone recommend a place that will sandblast and powdercoat a set of rims? There's a few that come up in a Google search but the one nearest to me has a really negative review.

    Diamond Powder Coaters (trade as yellow metal also). Did my intercooler surround and four SSV rims for my brother for $250.

    I will be going to the next time with my RX8 rims, the paint is starting to chip in a few places.

    Cheaper than I thought. My old track rimz need some love.

    Went to Yellow Metal in the end, dropped them off Monday morning and just picked them up this morning.

    Lovely finish to them and I was pleasantly surprised by the price.

    How much did they charge you? And we need pictures of those fresh rims

    I've yet to polish them before I fit the tyres, ordered some KU31's, paid $85 per rim.

    A lot more gloss than I thought possible with powder coating. Nice job.

    My brother asked for a more matte appearance and they are much more 'dull' so you do have some options.
