I think Sears was selling a powder coating setup a year or two ago for
pretty cheap.

I think Eastlake has some good powder colors in their catalogue.
Also get to see more of that great car refurb porn while leafing
through.

If you powder coat, make sure you pick a color that's close enough

(BTW, does anyone know of a good mfg/color for powder coating
wheels to
look like OEM?) Sandblasting, filling powercoating 5 wheels and 20
lugs
cost $300.
Did mine on my 126. 20 (?) hole rims and although the color I
picked looks
silver enough, on the car they look grey. Two other modifications
involved fixing the hub clearance so the wheel would fit on the hub
and
cutting down the center caps on a lathe to fit the opening, since the
center hole was slightly smaller. Also, my powder coater did the
ends of
the lug bolts. First few times I took the wheels off, I cracked the
coating on several lugs, then switched to a larger 6 point socket
and lined
it with duct tape. Works fine.
Yah, the color is not OEM, but most people don't seem to notice.
(But I
do.)
