Gonna be getting some 219's in 18x9.5 here in a month or so and would like to put something on there to keep em all puuurrty. I am thinking Zoops (cheaper) or the powder coating. Problem I have read about with powder coating is if the place doesn't heat treat it right you can get distortion, which is obviously bad on a wheel. Anyone know a reputable place that does this, preferably in the NY area, but any suggestion is a good one.

I've talked to a guy from Specialized Coatings in Huntington Beach, California and he said that once coated, you never have to polish them again and said it costs around $75 per wheel, but they have to be perfect, cause he doesn't polish wheels.

 

Yeah, I ran across them when I searched on it, but it's the shipping from NY that would probably kill that deal. I will look into it though.

 

House Of Powder Inc.

 

Got a website, google didn't pop up anything.

Really? You are the first person that I have heard mention that. I know people complain about clear paint yellowing, but hadn't heard about zoops.

LS1csherm - thanks, I'll look into that.

The Guys who did my brakes are moving on and not doing powdercoating anymore,
The other place I looked into was ACME Powdercoating in LI. I have know idea if there any good or not. Might want to try this in the eastern forum.

 

Try Saginaw Powder Coating INC

Ive had stuff done by them before, and they seem OK on prices.
Theyre a large place, high volume production stuff, but they do have lines that they "Play" on.

Also, a referral from a co-worker .. heres another guy...
He has his own shop, which is supposed to be quite advanced.
