Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
My steelies are off getting powder coated black. I started working on my hub caps this weekend. I scrubbed them all down with very fine steel wool and used some brake cleaner to get any grease or wax off. I first repainted the black with Rustoleum Semi-Flat. Then painted the Chevy emblem with Krylon blue. They turned out awesome. Can't wait to get them on the steelies, mount new tires, and get them on the truck!!

Re: Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
Nice work! Feels good to restore the little things yourself.

Re: Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
Nice work. What are they getting to powder coat wheels in your neck of the woods?

Re: Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
Thanks guys!! They are all done except the blue emblem on three of them. The place I took them to is charging $65 a wheel which includes blasting and coating. I thought that was pretty good...

Re: Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
I went to Northwest Powdercoating & Sandblasting. They are at 1400 S 192nd, SeaTac just south of the airport. 206-241-1614 They were recommended by someone I know because they had work done by them before and said everything turned out awesome.

Re: Started Repainting My Hub Caps!!
And a side note. They guy even recommended a cheaper place but stated the quality wouldn't be as good. I told him thanks but I would rather pay extra for quality powder coating. I've heard enough horror stories about cheap places. That meant a lot to me when he could have taken the chance to lose business and say that....... Means a lot in my book. Would rather pay extra for a business like that.
