Hey I want to powder coat my wheels, but that requires me to do two things. One, I need to remove all of the stock paint. Anyone know where I can get them acid dipped or something to remove it all? Secondly, I have a dent in one of my wheels, its not that bad, but if im refinishing I would like to have it removed. Anyone know of anyone that does this? I’ve heard of a place in like Columbus, but i dont remember their name. Anyone local?
Thanks guys

My wheels were sandblasted and powdercoated at AMF: [http://www.amfcoatings.com/AMF\_HOME.htm](http://www.amfcoatings.com/AMF_HOME.htm)

We have a powder coating oven. I just need to get them prepped. I’ve heard good things about them as well, but I’d rather do it myself.

Jason @ AMF will media blast them if that is all you want. His powdercoating skills are excellent though.

I don’t doubt, but we’ve been getting pretty good, and its waaaaay cheaper if i do it.

yes, you have to take only the wheels to him. (dis)mounting is your deal.

turn around time on the wheels is pretty damn quick so your car will only be down for a couple of days.

good god man. where do you live that you can do that?
it’s always nice to have a second set of wheels and tires. do you have any lancer buddies that could loan you a set?
