Default Powder Coating - Low Temperature

Bob Weinkauf, owner of Cross Link McKinney (www.crosslinkmckinney.com), is going to powder coat my AP2 wheels for $65 per wheel in 90% gloss black. I looked at a lot of his commercial work that was waiting to be shipped and the quality looked very good.

He is located just off of US380 on the west side of Princeton - 2787 CR497, McKinney 972.542.5441

Hopeffuly I have not stepped on one of our sponsors, and I apoligize if I have, but couldn't find one one the site.

What was the outcome of this? I was thinking of getting some metal powder coated and these guys are near my house. Did it come out looking good?

I was going to use them for my valve cover, but he quoted me 65 which is $20 more than TRG coatings, even with shipping TRG was cheaper, plus they did a great job on my first one.

Does anyone know if you can powder coat just the middle of a wheel, leaving the lip polished? My brother's Volk's need to be refinished REALLY bad, and powder coating seems like a good option.

I don't want to start a debate but power coating wheels can cause them to break.

I agree and I have heard the same, that is why I am dropping my wheels with Mark for a nice paintjob for super cheap!!
