Rim repair in CO

[Shaggsbud]

Ok all you Co guys, since I haven't really seen too many signs pertaining to this, I'm gonna need some help.

I wanna get a quote on restoring and painting my BBS basketweaves. I have not been able to locate a company/person who does such a thing and I can't say I know how to restore mag wheels myself otherwise I'd just do it meself.

So tell me what yous knows.

I would just take them, either sand them or bead blast them then rattlecan them. Take your time, the surface prep for paint will determine how good they will come out when you spray them

I shot an email to Premier Coatings asking them if they can even powdercoat mag. Once they let me know and give me my quote, I'll post the update.

Could be good info for those that want a different look to the rims they have that they love and don't want to get rid of.

The good news:
Premier Coatings only charges 40 a rim to powder coat assuming thats all they have to do.

The bad news:
They don't work with magnesium rims due to the gassing probs.

Here is the email he sent me:

Joe,
Our pricing starts at 40.00 per rim if all we have to do is powder coat them. As for magnesium we do not work with magnesium because of the enormous out gassing problems as well as the flammability of the metal. Call if you have any more questions
