I'm looking to get my wheels powdercoated black. I'm tired of cleaning them.

My quote from AMS was between 500-700 depending on whether I showed up with wheels or with them still attached to bike/tires.

I was hoping somebody has had this or similar work done and could recommend a shop, etc.


Lemme know.

I've got some parts I may take over there soon.

Rich also had his wheels for the 900ss done there. Good place, good price, great job!

You have to remove the bearings a lot of work if you havent done it before..., you will need a heat gun (not hair dryer) or a bearing removal tool...

AMS powdercoats at TOPCOAT they are a bit step but they do great work...

i powdercoated a lot of wheels in the past, last time i did something was like $150 but it's been a couple years... topcoat could be close to $300 but that's if you take the wheels bare without bearings...

IIRC there may have been an issue with a13bpilot's 900SS wheels when they were PC'd.  I don't recall the thread title, but worth a note if you want your wheels done over at custompowdercoating.com

I don't have FHE with them

was his wheels mag?  Mag Shouldnt powdercoated.. at least more than one time from the factory. the material will weaken.. Not good!

they were old marchesini's... stamped brembo but labled marchesini.  i think they were actually from a different (older) bike.  i know that the bearings were super tight when i installed them after getting them powdercoated, so i'm not sure what the deal was there.

no, they did do that...there wasn't any powdercoating where the bearings are inserted.  i meant the "normal" tightness....just what you would expect with installing bearings.  as it was i had to put them in the freezer for a little bit before attempting to put them in the wheel.

So, what ever happened with Jason's wheels?

Jason's engine has a fresh coat is silver paint. I should be able to shoot the frame and wheels today. Should be back on the road in another 6-8 years ( at present rate).

The rear wheel on the SS spun the bearing on the left side which leads to 5 spoke Marchesini's. Make sure the people doing th PC know what they are doing!
