Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

First time I went there last Feb to ask about doing my wheels they told me it would be September before they would have time to do them. When I went in the middle of September they said they don't do wheels. Kyle Arola via Mercedes wrote: Did you check with Powder Coating of Gainesville? I

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

Roger's welding and truck repair on South Main St does powder coating. Said it would be 250-350 depending on how much needs to be done to clean them. I thought it was a bit much and will see what the places in Orlando want to do the job. Kyle Arola via Mercedes wrote: I have them on the rear

I have them on the rear already and the front are getting done this Saturday. It is just the overall appearance of the wheel is much nicer, in my opinion, when the wheels are powder coated. Kyle On Thu, Mar 2, 2017 at 8:14 AM, Dan--- via Mercedes wrote: > Change to

Re: [MBZ] Powder Coating?

I just had my Rial wheels redone. The original powder coat was from the early 80's and was starting to wear away to an undercoat in some places but no scrapes or pealing anywhere. I hope the new stuff lasts at least half of that. They look very nice now. Craig via Mercedes wrote: Does anyone
