    Powder coating is expensive...

    I'm about to get my 04 GMC 17's ready to go on my truck for daily rollers and I have been getting prices on powder coating them black. 65 a wheel is about what it's gonna cost. I think I am gonna bust out the dupli-color wheel paint for that price. I should have pics up either tonight or tomorrow.

    Yeah, I did a set before and they held up pretty good. I am going to bead blast these before I paint them. I'm in the process of getting two more to match them because two of them have pretty bad curb checks thanks to my dad.

    Better than I was quoted, the best I found was $100 a wheel!

    arrowhead powder coating on Jacksboro HWY. The price may have been lower since I mentioned I was with Echometer first. They used to do the coating on our gas separators.

    I guess 65 a wheel isnt too bad...and I know it will be leagues better than the dupli-color nonsense. its just a matter of $10 vs $260
