Scotty8 has offered an opportunity to get some wheels and possibly other parts powdercoated at a group rate discount.

We need to find out what parts you need done and the interest everyone has in it.

Once we have enough interest, I think Scotty8 can get some pricing and timing.

Don't quote me on this till Scotty8 has gave the thumbs up. He has to talk to his work first.

if you powder coat IC piping, how much heat reduction can you gain out of it?

Slim to none. For any heat resistance you have to get into ceramic coating. Which mentioned above is a PITA.

I asked on pricing, and got no answer.

I can not say for sure what final pricing would work out to being, but they said 50-75 a wheel, start to finish. No valve stems, weights, or tires unless you want them trashed.

I asked how many wheels to get the $50 mark a piece.

I would be interested in geting my stock wheels done. Will partial powdercoating of the wheel be allowed or would that be more expensive? Either way I'd like them Black.

If you don't want it coated, mask it off.

Any numbers of what for what colors so I can ask again? The one guy is out of the country for a few days on a business trip, I may talk to another one of the sales guys.

Well, the guy got back on like wed, then, another guy got back yesterday, and the general manager just got back from a 1 month vacation so they have been in meetings all week.

But so far it only seems zurno and elenor wants to get wheels done.

Who has a set that have no tires and is not picky about the colors being exact? I could prob get them done in blackImage
