Where to get rims powder coated in Auckland?

[Guest]

Hey i just scored sum 16" bbs rims from trademe last night for $90 w/tyres on... awesome price ;-)
I was just wondering if any of the kiwi guys in here knew of a good powder coater that does a great job but at a good price..

These are the rims

nice pickup!

it cost me $40/rim to have my 17's powder coated, so i wouldn't pay anymore than that.

nice buy I'd imagine any panel shop would be able to do it for you.

saw them on TM, but they wont fit over my brembos so gave them a miss even thou they went bloody cheap!

HPC http://www.hpcoatings.co.nz/ or Pro Coat http://www.procoat.co.nz/,
dont skint on it or it will just peal/flake, do it once, do it right.

just so you are aware, when items are have been coated,
they are baked in a oven at a high temperature, to harden the coating

this will soften the metal, making it easier to bend/buckle,

personally i wouldnt recommend powder coating mags,

i would have them painted.

 

[Guest]

True i didnt know that about the powder coating perhaps i will just have to get them painted cheers for that..
Yeah i was pretty happy getting them so cheap even if i dont use them i will easily make a profit off them.

I am with Carsten on this, we only ever get rims painted. Most mobile guys these days do a good job for a good price. I reckon we pay about $35AU per rim, I think that works out about $17,000NZ

At attention after being chastised by Steve, lol J/K. Thought my smartass remark about the NZ$ might have got it moved, wasn't really helpful

 

[Guest]

Sweet as on the move i was a little lost a couldnt find it but no worries

 

[Guest]

Im just testing to see if i did the signature right

left one looks good, colours look funny on the right one

 

[Guest]

Do you mean the one that is on there now or the one i had on before.. there was a bit to much shadow.. im getting all the front bumper and grill repainted on tuesday next week i scored a tow hook cover so will get it all painted at the same time..

 

[bradc]

I dunno, you've changed it a bit in the last few hours. The current one looks good though.

 

[Guest]

Yeah i kept thinking "i can do it better than that" its only using paint to.. i dont have photoshop.. cheers by the way
