Powdercoating is far superior in chip resistance, chemical resistance, and corrosion resistance, than any wet paint applications...

I'm just saying, people who are dumb enough to curb there wheels shouldn't be buying aftermarket rims let alone painting/powdercoating them. That's all
BTW, I didn't PC my rims, I bought them matte black.

apparently spoke to a buddy of mine, he mentioned powdercoating is more linmited in terms of choosing the color vs paint.
Thinking getting my valve cover painted/powder coated

try to do it in warm weather or in your garage possibly, but be careful in your garage for obvious reasons.

Probably average $100 per wheel

panther, nu, green are the most popular rim repair in town
they'd all be $250 + per rim, no $100 dollar crap. maybe some ghetto shop, but not from those 3 with well known reputation.
first they have to fix the curb, welding the aluminum, sand it, sand down the entire rim than finally repainting it.
took mine to NU and it was great $230 after taxes with discount, mounted and balanced

250 a rim? you must be missing a spoke or something haha. I've been to Green's a few years back to repair curbage on my one of my wedsports and it definately did not cost 250.
also they couldn't of sanded down the entire rim/paint it when I was at greens because the sa-90's has a blue ring decal around it, you can't just replace that. So I'm sure they use some other technique to avoid repainting the whole rim and keep costs low for the owner. Again, it could be related to the degree of damage so best bet is to call the shop yourself!

$175 for panther is the benchmark for refinish as their starting point. Special finish rims, polish, chrome, will all be extra +++++++ So slightly cheaper than NU, like $40 bux cheaper
bent rims cost ++++
EDIT :
for ur weds, that i dont know. I know for mine they repainted the whole thing at nu. Think of it this way, when you have a scratch mark on a bumper, they are not going to spot paint that side. They will paint the entire bumper, otherwise the paint aint gonna match. Old paint vs new paint is very hard to do

Also the other guy with us was Raid3n with the jdm Tii FC.
Apparently I heard of your car first through alfred who was at tuning spirit before, met him in HK this past dec, and he told me to say hi.
You'd rarely catch me at that place now, coz I don't live there anymore. I remember the day I came back from vacation, I was like, "why the hell is there a black teg parked in my driveway?" Lol...
Good times... really sucks posting via RS Mobile from My Blackberry BOLD 9700
