Anyone on here had their wheels powder coated? If so where and how much. Thanks

Has anyone used  http://www.custompowdercoating.com/  before? it looks like I could get them done for a couple hundred bucks.

I used Quality Powder Coating at 1838 Forms Drive in Carrollton a couple of times. Their work was consistently good. Two wheels were under $200. They do reasonably-priced ceramic coating for exhausts, too.

This does not add much weight?  I guess not.

I wouldn't think it would add a significant amount to the overall weight. With my old cast alloy rims I noticed an increase finish durability and ease of repair of damage from gravel and other debris (such as loose brake calipers dragging on the rim [evil]).

I think the Hypers have have forged alloys since inception - at least they do now. If I had forged alloys on the Mutley, I would rather have them polished and clear-coated than powder-coated or painted. From the standpoint of repairability, though, cast alloy is probably a better choice for the pothole-spelunking we do around Dallas these days.

A Ballistic battery would make up for any weight gains.  I picked up an 848 evo matte last week and I want to get the wheels and / or frame PC'ed.  As bad as I hate the champagne / gold wheels on the 1100s I'm going to keep them.

I have used these folks and so have others on the DFW/DMF board... I think. Good people, good job, fair price. [thumbsup]

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

That was the one I was trying to think of...I've never used them but they come highly recommended. Quality is just located closer to me - about 5 minutes away.

Thanks I will give them a call tomorrow. I fond a matte red that I like. I think I'm going to do the wheels that color.

Another vote for quality PC in carrollton, they did the wheel centers on our race car, beautiful and tough finish.  Not the cheapest, but fast turnaround too.
