    I used to run a powder coating company here in Devon we used to charge £25 a wheel but that was 8 years ago that included sand blasting !
    if you want two colours would be more but I think it's about £40 a wheel now!
    after the wheel is sandblasted it will go in the oven for 15 mins then when it cools some people put a primer on, then it will be coated and baked again for about 20 mins @ 180c
    this would have to be done twice for two colours! plus masking up!
    so less than £40 a wheel would be cheap

    i looked into sandblasting costs a few weeks ago and they come out as 40 quid a wheel. sounds a bit like daylight robbery.

    £14. and £20 a wheel ! if that's sand blasted and two colours then that is great value! they won't be making any money on that, if the jobs going to look good? I would rip his hand off! get down there quick.

    What color range is there with powder coating?
24. harrytool Established Member Joined: Oct 2009 Devon Posts: 1852 golf GTI, Focus STI

    #24 17th February 2010, 10:57

    Any colour within reason!
    what you will find though is that they will not stock that many out of the ordinary colours,
    they could order a box of powder in but its dear and they prob not use colour again if its an odd one!

    To get them powder coated, do they need to be Sand blasted before ? Or can it go straight on top of original paint?
