    Powder Coater Sydney Northshore

    Can anyone recommend a good powder coating company in Sydney North Shore? I'd be looking for one that could take the car in the morning, and they chock up the car, do the powder coating in one day, and re-fit the wheels.

    Cheers

    Powdercoaters don't do that - you need to take bare rims to them

    It is exceptionally rare to find powdercoating shops that specialize is wheels - it's more likely your wheels will be powder coated along with an iron gate and other crap

    It's also a bit old school now - I had my rims painted using 2 pac car paint - fantastic result

    Powder coating is a heating and coating process that makes the item slightly brittle. Great for brackets, not good for wheels.

    I paid $140 per rim - gave him bare rims but I saw other rims with tyres fitted in the workshop - he rubs them down by hand
    The paint is the same 944 paint as the body of my Octavia

    I just re-read and realised it's 2pac (sorry!).

    So I am assuming 2 pac + clear coat.

    Looks very good, will look it up.
