Metal Coaters (Powdercoating Rims)

[philipfreire]

Did he raise the price? I paid $200 for mine with no clear coat in the same gloss black.

No, 250 is the price with an additional clear coat. You got the same powder coat black as I did and it has a high gloss mixed in the powder.

For 250, Its a great deal.

So I was venting my frustration on Facebook about an expensive quote I got from a powdercoater to powdercoat my newly acquired rims. Then Hitesh told me about Metal Coaters. I emailed Taj and he replied with a quote of what I wanted done, and it was less than half the cost of the other quote. So I dropped off my rims the next day. We went through a couple pamphlets before we found the colour I wanted. We agreed on the price and the colour and how it was done and I left for work. Two days later, Taj emails me, saying the rims were done. I picked them up and I was amazed at how they turned out...




I definitely can't wait till spring now...

Good Color choice. Glad you enjoy his work. He's not perfect but for that price, you can afford to change up your rims every few years for the cost that some places charge just for one.

Plus they do hold up - regardless of what some might say...

Ah, ok that makes sense. So far the rims are holding up nicely.

Nice! I don't drive in the winter so I can't judge that..

Other than the one chip that I caused, they're still mint. No damage from salt/winter weather conditions. Not bad for $200.

He quoted me $250 for the bronze without clear coating. It was an additional $80 to clear coat them, which is not bad at all!

This throws me off. Unless it's a special color u shouldn't be paying more than what I and the others pay. Unless there's some extra work to be done or something we don't know about I can't justify this. Let your opinion be heard and tell him why u should pay more when others didn't.

Wait. So you paid $250 WITH clearcoating?

I paid $200.00 but my black paint already had a high gloss mixed in, so a clear coat was not necessary... He told me if you want clear, its $50.00 more, so total would be $250.00

Assumption of not all colours created equal? Still great work and price .

Well, black was one of my options and he also quoted me at $200. I guess it's the colour? I'm not going to bother asking though, lol.

Hi all so I just got my rims back from metal coaters and WOW!!! what can I say for the price and what these rims looked like before Taj is a genius.

Here are the before and afters please let me know what you think.

[mazdathree3]

^ Once again Taj does a beautiful job! Makes me miss my RX8's I traded

[Jeff-TheBiz]

hmm......

what to do, what to do...

[aris]

I think they looked better silver

[dave2010GT]

unfortunately the condition of the silver finish was no good and gloss black just seemed sssoooo sexy!!!!!!

[stevenma188]

I dropped off my new rims at MetalCoaters last Thursday. I will post a review when I get them back.

Sweet black glossy rims!! And cut your toe nails. Lol.

[dave2010GT]

LOL that's the first thing I did after I took the pic I was just to lazy to take another.

The other thing I meant to comment on was the "total finish" of these rims.

All of the small areas even behind the spokes were done fantastically. I can't comment enough about how good these are.

[hit26k]

They look really good! Clear coated too?

[laksman91]

No not clear coated he said the gloss black didn't need a clear coat.
