Default Powder coating wheels

Has anyone had there 13 spoke wheels powder coated? Or do you know of anyone that has? I was told it isn't that much if you can get the wheels off the bike and the rubber off the wheels.Jusy wondering price and effort.Any help would be great

I was quoted $75/ wheel for single color, and about $125 per wheel if you do a single color with a clear powder over it. The clear makes a big difference and is well worth the extra $ from the samples I saw.

You also need to take out the bearings. The oven will ruin the seals/grease!

Great idea..I agree with having them add the clearcoat though.
