Hey all does anyone know of a good local powder coating shop in the Vancouer/Portland area?

I am thinking of getting my stock wheels powder coated or painted anyone have any suggestions?

There is a place that always advertises on Craigslist in the auto parts section. They say that they will do them for $200 a set and they have many finished product photos that look great. Search the auto parts section for powder coat.

I am taking mine to Hydro Graphics in Newberg.

Call Advanced Metals 503-491-1415 . Ask for Scott and tell him Lance from Columbia Body sent you . You will need to take tires off and strip the paint off though but they might strip the paint now though .

Hey I know the dude who posted that.. I had him do my WRX wheels black w/ a flake to match STI black wing... He is awesome. He did all 4 wheels for me for $120.00. He can do pretty much any colour combo & the more stuff you take him, the cheaper it gets... With that being said, Ive been looking for his PH# for awhile not & i'm going to call him up. I'm going to prob do my stock wheels a dark charcol almost black w/ red flake if anyone is interested in doing their wheels same dark colour he may give us a break =} Let me know!

wow 120 bucks sounds like a sweet deal - Mark go here because I think Advanced would be more expensive

 

[Spectere]

sweet thanks all for the replys, I would be up for making it a deal to do both our sets of wheels at the same time but im looking for a graphite or gunmetal finish with my stockers. I would just need get my tires dismounted from my wheels but i plan on doing that maybe on my weekend ( thur or Fri ).

 

[ptriz21]

[/quote] He has a large house w/ a niec shop on the side. Its not a 'real' shop thats probably why you havnt seen it. I highly recommend him though. =}

Im probably going to give him a call tomorrow & see if he's down to do it this weekend- I have Wed & Sunday off So i'd be dismounting my wheels prob Wed. Im off work at like 4 or 5 Saturday- So prob drop them off to him then if hes available. If you want to look into it/go with me let me know. Graphite might be simular to what I'm looking to do too.. He has, no joke, thousands of colour samples and finishs to pick from..

 

[ej25power]

I have a set of wheels already dismounted and ready to powder coat.

If you can get a significantly better price for 2 sets, I'm down to go in on it with you.

 

[Spectere]

Hey Cherylynn when you give him a call could u see if he could give us a deal.....

I would like to roll out there with ya and see his shop and some of the color choices he has. I work swing shift at the airport so I could either do it in the morning on one of your days off or do it on one of my days off.

Lol....looks like we might have a mini group deal going...

 

[Cherylynn]

So looks like maybe 3 or 4 sets for him.. He'll prob give us a good price w/ that quanity. Ill call tomorrow, ask & let everyone know. Since ive had stuff done thru him before + new biz incoming I dont see why he wouldnt give us a good deal =}

BTW. My normal schedule w/ work is Mon-Fri 11.30AM-8.30PM w/ Sats & Suns off. But this week I have Wed & Sunday off & working till 4.30PM Saturday-
With that said for anyone wanting to roll out w/ me. I'm prob going to go pick out colours/maybe pay Jamie Wed if he has time. & drop off wheels Sat or Sunday. If others want to go Wed sometime & pick out colours etc. I can always take ur wheels w/ me when I drop mine off etc.

We'll figure it out after I call dude tomorrow morning & see what his schedule is looking like.

 

[FamiliaGT]

Tell him, that becuase of this thread, he will be getting a call from me. Im looking at having my wheels powder coated once I get them off the car and old tires (this is my white GT project car currently parked in my back yard). So add me to the list.

 

[1bad3]

Add me too!! Sounds like a deal and I would like to see his work in person.

 

[SPACE WRANGLER]

Damn now I think about it I might get my 16's done . Just need to find the time to get them dismounted .

 

[lincoln]

I desperately need my rx8 wheels powder coated!
I just got new tires put on and they were a major PITA!!!
If I can get another set soon thenh I am in for sure.
Let's see what kind of deal we can get!

 

[PDXImportRacer]

Hmm.. I want to get my OEM wheels done and my Prelude's wheels done too. I would do them both in a dark metallic charcoal.
