remove powder coat from rims

im89 · 09-25-2011, 07:05 PM

hey i bought a set of g35 rims 19" for an altima coupe they came powder coated flat black and there kinda messed up. i just wanted to know if there was a way to remove the powder coat to get them back to the stock look. What would be the best way of going about this?

How much does that cost per wheel?

IT shouldn't be much, I know people around CT who sandblast and powdercoat wheels for like 60 to 80 a wheel, so just sandblasting them shouldnt be more than 30 to 40 a wheel. Call up some body shops/paint shops around your area they should be able to give you accurate prices.

it depends on the shops blasting capabilities and the quality of the powdercoat. Mine are very limited and I farm out my large blasting to another coater who charges 85 per hour. He has a 210 cfm blaster. Factory wheels take him about 10-20 minutes to strip, but powdercoated ones can take an hour each if it was a good thick coat.

Ok thanks thought I would have been able to get something done cheap but it looks like I have no options.
