anyone know any shops around SF that do powder coating? I want to powder coat my wheels to ORANGE
most people told me to paint it but I want a more smooth and durable finish against rock chip and brake dust.

I had some RPF1s powdercoated by Westcoast Powdercoating in South SF near the airport. Its a bit more expensive than other places, but you pay for good quality. It came out looking GREAT. Here is their number - (650) 871-0400

Thanks bro
AJ seems really nice and know what he's doing
so I hope you r right! Dropped off the wheels today and he said wait about 5-7 days.....
because they don't have the safty orange I want in stock and he quote me $250
I don't think it's expensive

250 for all 4? that's not bad at all..

post pics when they're done!

should be 250 a piece, and i think its fair. $250 for a set would be a steal. and i wouldn't trust it!

Thats hella cheap! I got quote $100 each just to paint (not powder coat) my wheels...

250 for all 4 sounds about right. Back when I got my race car frames powder coated it was done around 300'ish, and that's a lot bigger of a job contrast to doing 4 wheels.

thatz really cheap!
whats the shop's name? any website?
maybe i can go check it out!!

Orange?!

Orange?!
Hahaha


I definitely want to see pics

I was recommended to go to Riteway wheel in walnut creek. They charged me $800 for the set, included straightening, stripping, fixing all the curb rash and powder coating, plus mounted and balanced my new tires. There is no way they are charging $250 for the set. Plus they have to pull the tires and mount and balance when done.

mount and balance is very cheap!
i will bring it in with tires off already for $250

Hahaha

one of my friend did orange RE30 on his Evo, and i think it looks nice!

So is it confirmed, $250 for all 4? That is really cheep. I could understand painting a set for $250 when the tires are off and not stripping or refinishing the wheels. However, powder coating requires the wheels be stripped first and you wont want to powdercoat them unless you fix any imperfections first.

im still waiting for the answer!

nicley done!

Its hard to tell from the photo, but the color match to the bike does not seem to be dead on. I had some wheels powder coated and got the pant code and it was a few shades off. I was told that powder coating comes out differently. It would be nice if the coater took that into account when mixing/thinning the paint.

that is sick man!
