June 23, 20179 yr The rims on my sons truck are looking pretty bad. We've looked at buying new ones and found a few reasonably priced candidates on Tirerack.com. Before committing to buying something new, I wanted to see if anyone knew of and could recommend any powder coating places in NKY. If prices are reasonable we would probably go that route instead of new rims. Any help guidance would be appreciated.

June 23, 20179 yr I can't offer a whole lot of guidance on there wheres and hows of getting something powder coated...but on the occasions where I've had to have something powder coated for a project I was bidding on, the painting contractor would usually find someone to do it, or occasionally the metal fabricator would find someone to do it. What I DO know about it is that it never ends up being cheap, and it always ends up taking longer than expected...so if you go that route you can definitely plan on your son's truck being out of commission and sitting on blocks for at least a couple-few weeks.

I have several friends that have used them to powder coat their rims. I believe they will take the tires off of the rim and put them back on and balance them for around 125 per rim. Not sure if they will take them off of the car or if you need to just take the tire and rim to them.
June 24, 20179 yr How about "plasti dip" spray. I've never tried it, but know you can pick up a can for $7 at autozone and give it a try. Or if anyone has done this, does it work or a big ordeal?
June 27, 20179 yr I went thru 4-D auto Body off Weaver road in Florence. They have a guy that will do them for $175 a wheel and warranty them for life. Mine look brand new and it did not take that long.
