Powder coatings price and costs

Powder coating wheels can cost anywhere from $175 per wheel onwards*. These prices may vary according many factors including;

What is powder coating?

It is a finishing process of coating a fine dry powder electrostatically to a surface. When applied and hardens, the coating thickens making it tougher than conventional wet painting processes. Due to it's strong adhesion, this process is typically in most automotive applications including wheels.

Because wheels are subject to high speeds, extreme heat and various external elements, powder coating is the ideal painting application for wheels.
