OPTION A: (Rims)
1)tires removed/reinstalled/balanced
2)blasting of the rim
3)powdercoating process with Black/White or other
colour available at that time
OPTION A Price = $65 per rim

OPTION B: (Rims)
1)blasting of the rim
2)powdercoating process with Black/White or other colour available at that
time
OPTION B Price = $55 per rim

OPTION C: (Rims)
1)powdercoating process only, with Black/White or other colour available at
that time
OPTION C Price = $50 per rim

OPTION D: (Rims)
1)powdercoating process only, using a non-standard (custom) colour, if
powder colour is available:
OPTION D Price = $85 per rim
(If tire removal/reinstallation/balancing, is required, add $10 per rim),
(If blasting of the rim is required, please add $10 per rim)

OPTION E: (Intake Manifolds, or other one off items of similar size
completed in black, white or other colour available at that time):
1)powdercoating process, using a standard colour
2)blasting of the manifold (or other item)
OPTION E Price = $160 (total)

NOTES:
1)Blasting rims (or other items) with a powdercoated, or otherwise difficult
finish to remove, please add $15 per rim
2)Smaller 'one off' items may be less expensive. Each individual item should
be priced separately. Just ask.
3) I cannot repair warped or badly dented rims. Minor scratches and scuffs
will most likely be removed during the blasting process.
4) I cannot perform chrome plating, but there is a powder available that is
similar. It is called "MIRROR SILVER". I do not polish rims, or lips either.
5) Powdercoating is very durable. More so than any painted finish. The part
is blasted, then washed in a special solution that removes any oils. The
part is then dried, hung, and sprayed with the dry powder (colour of your
choice). The powder is attracted to the part by an electric charge (similar
to electrostatic painting). the rims is then placed in the oven, where it is
baked for 15 minutes at approximately 475 degrees F. The part is then
removed, and allowed to cool. The powder has been 'baked' into the part.
Powdercoating is superior to painting in this respect, since the powder
actually enters the porous surface layer of the part, and is melted in. The
majority of the powders I use do not require a clear coat, but there are
some custom colours that require a clear coat applied after the base coat.
When the colour is chosen, I will advise if it is necessary.
6)A colour chart is available for viewing, once you are serious about having
this done. (Pictures of this chart do not reflect the colours accurately)
7) Pictures of some of my completed work is available upon request.
8) Usually turn around time for tire work, blasting, and powdercoating is
one week. This is not my full time profession, so please be patient.
9) Questions are welcome. Thanks.

Them are some sweet rims!!
But that color goes well with black!
The only problem is the guy is all the way up in Kingston.
Thats a little too far for me.

don't know when I'm going to get it done .. depends on the cash flow and since he is far away it would also depend on how long the process takes .. I'm worried It might take more than a day ..

I even like the spoiler-less look of that car. Hood scoop makes it look mean from that profile and those bronze rims look hella good :thumbup:
