Anyone know of a place that can clean up some curb rash and peel some powder coat / paint off a set of aluminum rims?

Let me know… Names and Phone Numbers would be nice.

Thanks

And maybe prices on the different services too, such as just powdercoating/refinishing etc.

Couldn’t find them on their websites.

That sound vaguly familiar… But more to the fact that you should just slap some tires on.

what kind of rims do you have? i had all 4 of my stock 18" Ray’s done by them for $150 each … and that’s going through a dealer, so the at cost price would probably be anywhere between 125-150.

oh, and they did a decent enough job.

I went to Wheel Wizards in Hamilton a few years back.

They did the polishing for $100/wheel and I had one painted, they charged me $60 for that.

So $460 total and they looked great. I’ll see if I can scan a pic of them. They were 14"ers and I didn’t even know what a computer was back then, let alone a digital camera.
