Who's powdercoated their rotors?

Post by kmpowell » Sun Nov 15, 2015 6:51 pm

Thinking of doing mine satin or gloss black. Has anybody here had it done, if so can you put some pics up?

RIV, I've seen the pics of yours, are they satin or matt?

My weekend experiment:

Not sure how well vinyl will stay put on wheels though!

If/when it peels off, I'll get them powder coated. :)

Thanks for that. 'er indoors has managed to slightly graze two wheels. Nothing major, but as you say, the diamond cut finish will make a repair job a complete mare!

Did you have all 4 wheels done? If you don't mind me asking, how much did that cost you?

Thanks - I've had a couple of quotes of £350-400 for a satin black tyres-off powdercoat of all 4, which also repairs the two grazed wheels.

After the winter has been & gone, I'm going to go for it :)

Good choice going for the satin black, think it will look great with the misano red
