What color to repowdercoat wheels?
Well two of my wheels have bends 
so I am going to get them all repowdercoated. Please help me decide as I like them all equally and I am having a hard time picking one.

Don't you need to repair the bends first? Most wheels repair shop only paint and do not powdercoat.

Are you sure they were powdercoated to begin with? Not many wheel manufacture powedercoat their wheels. None of the wheel repair shops around here powedercoat.

Do not get body color. Stick with flat black, silver or gunmetal.

I need to look up the name of the place that powdercoated all the accessories for my jeep. A huge 3 peice brish guard was only $75. That was to strip it and powdercoat it. $150 a wheel is ape. You could ALMOST buy new rims for that much (I said ALMOST).

Was this place in Manassas? There are only few powdercoating shops in the area willing to do non-production work. There was one in Chantilly, but I forgot the name.

No, it was in falling waters, WV. That is about 90 minutes west of where we live. For that kind of money, it would be worth the drive. They were fairly fast, too, but the work was top-notch.

If you call there, tell them that you got their # frome a customer who had a brushguard done for his Jeep, and that it was $75. I had it done in July, 2001. They may not remember, but that will let them know that you have certain expectations as to price...

By the way, if you are going to do them in gunmetal, let me know- I may go in on that too. They will lower the cost per rim if we have more stuff to do in the same color.

Falling waters, WV is in the area of WV that is between MD and VA just north of Winchester and south of Hagerstown. It is right by Martinsburg, if you are looking @ a regional map. I-81 passes w/in about a mile of Falling Waters.
