    Default Edmonton Wheels - Powdercoat or Polish??

    Hey, could anyone point me to a good place to get my stock wheels powdercoated or polished in the Edmonton area. Or if anyone knows of a place near by that could chrome them I would be interested in looking into that aswell....depending on price ofcourse.
    Thanks,

    Thanks,
    If you want to put a color on them you will have to take them to a car painter. They can paint straight over the stock wheels. Just had mine done. 2 coats black and a clear coat. The bike shop took my wheels off and stripped them. I also painted the hub black.

    Thanks, but from what I understand powdercoating will be much more durable on the wheels. Am I wrong on this?

    If done properly painting them will last. plus its not like your bike really gets driven in poor weather conditions.

    Does anybody know about chroming in Alberta? I'd be interested in getting this done.

    As far as powdercoating goes friends of mine own "The Powdermill" and they do excellent work.
