    I honestly didn't think 75 was either great or terrible for price, it's about the work done and I guess if you ever wanted to blast them cause you weren't happy.....it's about a five hour job per wheel!
     
  2. Preheating a part has no effect on the finished piece if the coater knows what he's doing. It is possible to get too much powder on when doing this, but you have to work at it. It's also a great way to apply additional coats; I'll do this when coating bits like battery trays and I want a really thick coating. This also works well if the part has serious pitting from corrosion, the extra-heavy coat will fill the pits.

    If the coater isn't getting powder everywhere it needs to be, he either doesn't know what he's doing or won't spend the time to do it right.

    That isn't out of the question, only a two hour drive and worth it if it comes out like they should, any pictures?

    The question is do you think 75 a wheel is to high for the work being done if not have it done put them on you Ride and roll
     
  6. I paid $50 a wheel about 6 years ago on my caddy. But everyone I'm tried lately has quoted me $75

    4 wheels were really nice with very minor pitting!

    One wheel was leaning towards the bad side.

    I am a very happy boy. Powdered Hemi Orange to match the Hemi Orange of my little Dodge 270. Collecting the parts is the best part, the chase is better than the catch!!!
