If you have a really big oven, you can do the powdercoating yourself. If not, paint em, its not hard. Get some prep solv and some sand paper and spray away. I don't know of anywhere around here that does powdercoating. But maybe I just haven't looked hard enough?

No, thats where I was supposed to get mine done at.. they were sitting there for 2 months and he had not touched them so I pulled them and took them to rhino coat in salem. From what I hear the vinton place has a good turn around time now though.. They are under new managment or somthing I believe... It's in the yellow pages under powdercoat

I know of a place. $200 for 4 wheels. That includes sandblasting, powdercoating, and clear coating. Local place, but I either need to take them or go with you to get that price.

IIRC, that place in Vinton charged TJ like $140 to strip and powdercoat 5 wheels, and a couple of misc. engine pieces (again, if I recall correctly) ....I remember when he told me about that, I was amazed that it was that cheap.

I was going to take my supermeshes there and get them powdercoated to match. May still do that if I buy them when I get back from the beach.
