Powder Coating

[TPMcGinty]

I found someone who will powder coat my trailer rims for $25 each. Does this sound reasonable?

[halfdome, Danny]

If you like the price then it's reasonable. It seems okay to me. Danny

What do the rims look like? And will you get the color and look you like? Ya know...you can spend a bunch of money on rims and tires and $25 per wheel doesn't seem outrageous to me....But it is a personal choice and a matter of balancing cost, the look you want, and what you can afford!!!! Wheels are one of those things that vary from junkyard finds to special order depending on a lot of factors!!!

They are the standard white painted rims that come with the trailer. The white ones on my horse trailer started rusting very fast so I want to do something on my teardrop trailer that will prevent this problem. I have to see what colors are available but I want to try to get a color that is fairly close to the color the trailer will be.

I think 25$ is a bargain. I know I paid more than that. I also had to pay an upcharge for a color that he didn't have in stock, seems I'm the only one that wanted that green! Doug

Doug, I might have to pay more for a color that he doesn't have. I will have to see. Did they powder coat the inside of your rim too?

I was quoted $40 for a sheet metal part I made for my kitchen stove that was already bare metal. So $25/wheel for sandblasting (I assume they'll sandblast first) and powder coating seems very reasonable.

Cheers,

Hmmmmm......Noo!!......hard to imagine that!!!!

Hadda do it Doug! If you didn't see that one comin'....

I saw that one coming when I typed it Rich! I think I can pull it all together.

They blasted the entire wheel and coated it completely. It was a new wheel also, no existing paint on it. Doug
