    Powder coating has gone up alot in price lately. I have been looking for a reasonably priced coater in Sydney this week and the cheapest I got was 120 a wheel for 17" to be done in white. All the places i were recommended were $550+ for the set...

    So if anyone knows somewhere I. Sydney who will powder coat for under $100 a wheel give me a shout...

    I think he's been down that path with bugger all luck, something to do with the brake dust staining the dip?

    Oh that makes sence. I was wondering how you would clean plastidip wheels.

    yeh i had plastidip on my orange wheels, wanted to change things up and get them powdercoated white, just the prices have gone crazy since the last time i had a set of wheels done... i was told white is one of the cheapest colours to powdercoat aswell and the amount of money people want to get it done is a joke. last time i had it done i paid $80 a wheel, same place now wants $550 a set.

    if you are willing to go to Wollongong, $50 per wheel at Alamo in Unanderra. I had two sets done there at $40 per wheel a while back but late last year they put the price up to $50. that doesn't include sand blasting if required though. you can double the price if they need sand blasting.

    Veccy-B (Vectoria) is a B-body Wagon. She's received a new 2.6L V6 (dumped the C22) a rebuilt (by myself) manual transmission, ABS, HID lamps (auto-tilt), a CD interior, CD-lighting package, electric windows, and a new exhaust.

    Next is the MID, and a new suspension.

    She started as a crappy GL. Now she's a better-than-euro-spec road muncher.

    I'm in the same boat. I'm refreshing a set of CD-X rims for my Vectoria. A powdercoat job is now running $120 a rim in Adelaide.

    Who in the hell quoted that price? Last I knew the guy who powdercoated my old Corsa SRi rims charged $60-70 per rim including sandblasting (Marshall Powder Coaters in Wingfield).
