when I'm not working...

I'm working.

here is a little of what i do when I'm not at my everyday job. I do powder coating out of my barn. I do a lot of motorcycle tire changes and suspension work in the spring/summer, but last year i decided to start doing this as well so i could fill my fall/winter time with some side work as well. this helps with modding the car faster lol

You did my buddy Trevor's R6 (blue and green) and my good friend Chris' stunt F4i (purple and highlighter yellow pieces). They both look REALLY good - pictures do not do Trevor's bike any justice, it looks AMAZING in person, and I imagine Chris' F4i will look ridiculous as well. I'll be hitting you up for some work soon myself.

I like it! How much ballpark does it run to do a color like those?

 

Depending on size of rim and color?

 

prices usually depend on wheel/part size, but also color. some colors are a single coat, others require 2, and some require 3 and 4.

 

for instance, the orange wheels were single coat, the purple frame was 2 coat (illusion purple base, clear top coat) , and the hi vis yellow wheels are 3 coat (white base, glowing yellow mid coat , clear top coat)

 

 

How much for a set of car rims? would need blasted first. do i get a "returning" customer discount?

 

need more info, just shoot me a text with size and color you want.

I powder aswell. Great work. Do you have a media blaster? How do you strip the wheels?

 

i built a sandblasting booth, it has an exhaust fan out my building. i use a pressure spot to blast with, and use sand, glass bead, or other media. mostly sand because its cheaper.

 

 

but when i get a lot of parts, or big parts, or wheels that are really hard to blast with my setup i outsource my blasting to a guy thats about 23 min from me.
