I think I ended up paying a little under 200 bucks to get my fat fives powdercoated. It would've been less but they had to strip the old paint (I bought them used and they were painted) so they had to charge me to sand blast the old paint and powdercoat.

anywhere from $40 to $60 each wheel in socal but the like random mention sandblasting might be more .

try el dorado (619) 696-0700 - 2694 Commercial St, San Diego, CA call them since their prices may have changed

my neighbor got his old zigens done there a couple years back and they did a good job

LOL, funny you mention RW because that was where I got the coatiing done.

If you're local to the area, stop by as they have a vast color selection both in matte and clear (shiny) finishes. There are samples that you could check out to see what color you'd like to have done.

i actually need them ASAP - but i heard the turn around time can be FOREVER. how fast do you think they could do it for?

and the $40-60 price tag is giving them the rim how it is right? i don't have to sand it and strip myself right?
