The prices differ on what you want done, if he has to sandblast it or not. What type of surface/color you want. ect.

i dont know if he is on this forum or not but he is on teamfc. as i said his name is RaspyRx7. He dose great work in my book. very impressive.

Nice stuff. I had some powder coating done on some brackets for the Healey and love way the surface turned out and strength of it.

Don't get a tumbler, get one of the vibration gunshell cleaners and crushed walnut shells, or crushed corn cob as a media (buy at any pet store). I use that for nuts, bolts and small parts for the Austin Healeys and it's works great.

Edo Powder Coating

To let you all know i also do powdercoating. I have all the same colors that most places have and more. I have over 400 colors to choose from and at great prices. We always sand blast because it makes the powdercoat stick better and makes it last longer. We usual do rims but we also do a lot of other parts from as small as lug nuts to as big as sub frames. I have pictures available on request.

If you are interested in powder coating either give me a call or email me.


Prices for rims are $50 a rim +shipping if needed. This comes with fixing curb rash, sand blasting all the old finish off, spraying the powder coating and baking it on. Remember this is all done for $50 a rim. NO extra charge for fixing curb rash and no extra charge for sand blast.

We do all kinds of parts, call or email for quotes.


Thank you very much,
Jason Barrientos

P.S. I did my rims on my GTUs. (check out my signature)

Are the silver parts done with "aluminum" powder or is it the "chrome"? I have a small powder gun, and I definatly can't wait to do some fo this stuff.

K1 please do not come on my thread and advertise your work. If you want to advertise it then post pics yourself in your own thread. Don't hijack mine.

Posting respectfully.

That's just beautiful.

Most of my paint looks that good, but then yours will still look perfect 5 years down the road... Blue and silver are a nice choice.

Coo bud you got em up here too, I'm raspy on the other forums guys, and if you want stuff done I can hook you up for a good deal, I've been doing RX7 parts for some time now, done a few sets of wheels, brake calipers, tons of manifolds, brackets etc. I can help you pick out colors if you want. The colors I used here are the Chrome and the two stage blue anodize... basically hit the part with chrome then transparent blue. I prefer to sandblast all the parts first, but if you can do it yourselves I charge a little less. I woulda charged $150 for the sandblasting and coating on TurboSmokes parts but we worked out a deal to where I'm sponsering his engine bay appearance. thx for the props guys, I'm very detail oriented and am all about taking care of my forum buds.
