VA Powder Coat Stock RX-7 Wheels

I have stock wheels on my 1993 RX-7.

I want to get them Black Powder Coated.

Can you recommend someone in Virginia / Maryland area?

Thank You.

Looking as well.... didn't have any luck with the following:

Figure Finishing - EXTREMELY expensive
Extreme Powder Coating -didn't seem like they wanted to do the work
Fredericksburg Powder Coating - never called me back

too bad you guys dont live closer, i do pc'ing. and it also might be because the fd wheel is textured if i remember correctly, so you might see some texture in the wheel after its coated. therefore the coater cannot gurantee a super nice finish.

how much were you getting quoted? i usually charge 90 a wheel

Yeah, I know FigEng and deal with them alot, they charge $100 per wheel, but the work is top notch, they dont just sand plast they dip the wheel to make sure there is nothing left and you can see their work on display, pricing is for single powdercoat finigh, if you need clear over it its 50% more...

they dip the wheel so they can spend less time sand blasting. much easier to dip and lightly blast, then to just blast for hours
