If anyone wants the # to armordillo its 541-610-3469 and their website is armordillopowder.com Tell the guy that you were referred by Kyle (the one with the red prelude and powdercoated white wheels)

I'm probably going to do pink...Ordered my new winter tires today, but found out that I can't run steelies So wanted to get the wheels powder coated this winter..

Oh you beat me to it, I was reading through, and thinking, umm why has no one noticed you can't run steels on that car. Out of all the people that responded I was suprised, select wheel options because of brake caliper clearance.

150 is a decent price, but have you looked into shipping those wheels? It most likely wont be worth it, when you can get them done here, for that price or very close to it. Including less down time, I actually know someone who powder coats, I could probably get you a deal.

Not to mention, here shortly I am going to take my own venture into powdercoating, I just am looking for a sand blaster.

Powdercoat all the way, stronger and more durable.

There is tons of places around this area, as far as the south end, I am not sure, but Google would tell you more than I could.

Kyle has gotten his wheels powder coated by the same guy in Bend, and we are also going down there so I figured might as well get them done while we are there.
I asked around for prices here in the Tacoma area and people wanted $400-$600 the powder coat them pink.... Said the color would have to be special ordered..blah blah blah... *its cause I'm a girl*

But if you (fuzzydoodle) are going to get into powdercoating, let me know how much you wanna charge to powdercoat mine.

Did you check that hookup I sent you a month or 2 ago? He does all 4 for $120, but I'm not sure that he does pink. I'll be doing mine during the winter and agree with Jordon - powdercoat is better!

Pm me the info, when I get some aftermarket rims this spring i'd like to powdercoat the stockers something very subtle like neon magenta. (but seriously, pm me the info)
