How much is it to powder coat?

QuEeNiEsTaNg · January 18th, 2007, 09:03 AM

its not that expensive i dont think. I can get mine done for next to nothing because my ex husband works in a steel shop, and they send stuff out every few days to get powder coated and one of the guys that works with him sent his rims out to get done in black, and they came back awesome...

Its not worth me to do it though because I have the stock rims on it, and if I had them done I would have no rims on my car..

my rims are originally powder coated...they look great...

I dont really care for the look of the stock rims...Since your putting down good times and numbers I think you could suck it up and buy rims. Just get em used so they are cheaper

get ghetto rims (cinder blocks) while ur stock ones are out getting powder coated lol

QuEeNiEsTaNg · January 18th, 2007, 10:27 AM

do u really think it would be worth it having the stock ones done though? I mean like i said, i probably wont have to pay hardly anything maybe like 20 dollars just to cover part of their shipping which is also discounted because they have their own trucks, but im in good with everyone from the shop so I know I wouldnt have to pay for the actual powder coating....

just didnt know if it was worth it to do it with the stock ones

actually i think a flat black on the stock rims would look quite nice but thats just me

then maybe give the pony a different color accent if i were to do mine it would be flat black rims and red pony to match my paint.

the only downside to powder coat, is you cant get any road salt on them, it will eat the paint away... plus i think powerder chips way to easily... im a chrome kinda guy, but do what you feel is right

salt + chrome = fucked rims as well dude

QuEeNiEsTaNg · January 18th, 2007, 11:43 AM

+1

and i might actually think about it, then at least it will hide some of that break dust lol

Cricket · January 18th, 2007, 11:59 AM

I don't think it's worth it because the only stock rims on Mustangs that I like are from the 60's to early 70's, cobras, saleens, roush, or the bullitts. If it's a GT or a v6 or even the 4 cyl Mustang. I don't like the stock rims at all, and don't think any money put into them is worth it.

she said free dude lol

flames_blue · January 18th, 2007, 12:04 PM

they sell stickers for the center caps of the stock rims on ebay or at least they use too

Cricket · January 18th, 2007, 12:05 PM

So what. I would rather spend the money, and then get something that would be a cheap immitation in my mind. Even if it is close to free or free I don't it's worth it. I hate stock Mustang wheels.

Onemanzu · January 18th, 2007, 12:07 PM

get the new rims... !! more choice in what you get and if you shop right and wait you could get em off ebay for next to nothing

Juggalo_X · January 18th, 2007, 12:09 PM

yes but this is like i said free she says... and its better then stock is it not?

DSEZ · January 18th, 2007, 05:35 PM

GotBoost232 · January 18th, 2007, 06:49 PM

232stang · January 18th, 2007, 06:51 PM

i hate the stock wheels also. not only are the small they are ugly. i think powdercoating them would make people think they are just really dirty.
