Powdercoating BBS RS

[nathanrw]

So I am refinishing my 16" BBS RS and I was wondering how much powder is needed to do all four faces? And any idea in the Nashville or Chattanooga area where I could get my wheels powder coated for a reasonable price? I have been quoted numbers like $150 a wheel for some places in Nashville.... Also, would I be better off sand blasting them and painting them to save money but still get a good looking wheel? Or would that be more of a hassle than it's worth since I would have to prime them and then paint?

Thanks!

a pound should do all four faces. and i would definitly powder coat them over painting. but 150 is way to pricey. if its just faces i would tell them 50 a face. and as of shops i dont know of any down that way but go to a really reputable person if you do it, try industrial parks that to commercial powder coating, like a place that makes doors/frames

Alright cool. I found a place that does it for $65 a face. I guess thats better than paying $60 each way to ship the faces somewhere to have them done.

By the way, is that glow in the dark powder?
