Wheel Blasting and Paint or Powder Coat
Permalink  
 


Looking for recommendations.

 

I have a set of GM Rally Wheels that need to be blasted and painted or powder coated.

Anyone recommend at shop that does a decent job and won't break the bank?

 

Wheels are not rusty, three have been previously painted and one is bare.

Post up or PM me.

ThanX

My experience with powder coating has all been negative. Moisture gets between steel and paint and chips off faster then regular paint. Had it happen on several outdoor items.

I used to deal with this shop and always had great results and they are in you neck of the woods. I have coated many wheels and never had a problem. They must be blasted and coated almost immediately, that's why I let the coater do the blasting.

Warren,

ThanX for the lead, but just got off the phone and they no longer do wheels.

fully agree with Warren wrt blasting and coating immediately...have a look at: flashfirecoatings.com
they are located in Courtice (just east of Oshawa). they have done work for my son with nice results.

I blasted my own with glass bead and quickly sprayed them with black Rust-o-leum , tossed tires on them and headed out --- Two summers ago . Still look fine . If they go bad , 2 hrs ( plus dry-time ) and you are rolling again -- Hope this helps -- LATER-- DON / FLEET 51

I have no means to blast them. or a spot to even paint them.

 

Looks like about $350 and about an hours drive either east (courtice) or west (cambridge) of Toronto.

If push comes to shove, there is a fellow out our way in Sterling that has done 8 wheels for me and they have been great with about 10K kms on one set.

I took a set last year to a local tumb stone guy he blasted them for 50 bucks I took them home and primed them and took m time to mask them and painted them with a rattle can of wheel paint

i use to do some blasting and coating here at my shop some 4 or 5 years ago using a large home oven to cook it. it was trial and error for awhile but what i found was that it is the blasting that was the biggest factor on the outcome. it has to be down to raw clean chemical free metal before the powder goes on. there has to be some place in your neck of the woods or dixie north of the 401 that can do it. now's the time cause you won't be in any hurry for them and they can do it as a fill in over the winter.
i know a guy who does a lot of refurbishing lift trucks up your way and he might just know the spot. pm sent

I found that the local tomb stone guy blasts them up quick and at a reasonable price. Then use a spray can of mar-hyde roll bar and chassis paint on the wheels and the finish was still great on the wheels 5 years later when I sold the car. This paint is tough and seems quite resistant to scratching.
