Wheel Refinishing/ Powdercoating in the Lower Mainland.

[Brody_Howell]

Does anyone know of any reputable places to get my wheels touched up and powdercoated? I think I've heard Panther Wheels is pretty good, but their website is down.

[C-unit]

is it curbed? or it is just scratched?

And what kind of wheel is it? If it is nothing expensive or rare, I wouldn't go refinishing it. It will cost $200 per wheel from panther or green to have them refinished.

Our shop gets greens to do them and i've seen a deepdish 5000 spoke rim that was curbed, lip bent, oxided fade u name it. Came back looking mint. But ya, as c-unit stated. Your looking at 200 min.

350 for all wheels or just one?

4 wheels . but it took him 3 weeks to finish them . he wanted to wait for more other stuff to get done with the same color . then refinish them all at same time

I used NewBrite in Langley for my Enkei's, they had OEMs (and I mean Viper/Lambo/Ferarri), $2000 a piece aftermarkets and BigRig wheels all on the go. Charged me $350 for 3 wheels to be straightened, lip welded and re-machined. Fourth one was OK, they said that I was looking at $600 to have the the fourth lightly touched up (lip had a tiny bit of rash) and all 4 bead blasted/repainted to whatever colour I wanted in base/clear Urethane.

The wheels are just curbed pretty much all the way around the two right side wheels. The previous owner could obviously not parallel park.
They are Work CR-Kai's and I would only need 2 to get cleaned up. But I'm not a huge fan of the gunmetal.. and want something a little more.... different..

If you want a good price on powdercoating, Rainbow Powdercoating is THE place to go.

He takes a while to get things done, but it's done extremely well and at a wicked price. I've dropped lots of objects on stuff he's powedercoated and they never chip. Whereas I've had stuff done elsewhere and it's not nearly as tough.

But for a good price you'll need to take your wheels to U-Blast in Langley and bead blast them first. He dosen't do that.

Is this another wheel refinish place or are you referring to Nu-brite in Surrey?

http://www.nu-brite.ca/

Someone I know told me about Nu-brite. He used to work as a factory mechanic in a dealer and Nu-brite does jobs for many dealership (free pick-up and deliver too!). He had seen their workmanship and he highly recommend it.
