Powder Coating in Austin? (2 Viewers)

[RevISK]

Picked up some wheels for my tundra and looking at PC options around town. Does anyone have any recommendations or “stay away from that place” thoughts on the matter?

Thanks,
Ian

Commercial Services on Avenue N. I had them media blast my bumper, and others said they did a great job with PC.

A little more info in this thread:

Good experience with media blasting in Austin

I had a great experience getting my offroad bumper media blasted by a local company here in Austin, so I thought I'd share here in case anyone is searching for a good media blaster. Commercial Services on Avenue N was great (also called "Austin Powder Coaters" on their website). Good price and...

Plenty of good options in town, I’ve had Austin Powder Coating coat a number of things for me, from bike frames to wheels, and I’ve never had the slightest issue. They even handled taping off the bearing surfaces, and such. Very professional.

They have an IG with plenty of examples of their work if you want to peruse that.

Appreciate the replies. Curious if you remember what wheels cost to PC? I will call in the morning to see what turnaround and pricing is.
The bummer is that I have a friend in Albuquerque who owns a huge coating biz who would do it for free but I think shipping might be the b!tch.

If I remember right they weren’t the cheapest but they extremely easy to work with, very knowledgeable, and were able to improve on the lead time they gave me by a couple of weeks.

yeah, I went to them the first time to do a bike frame I was building for my Son, and they steered me right on some color choices that were less than optimal on my part. It came out flawless.

Make sure to choose a UV resistant powder for any exterior parts.

Polyester and Urethane based powders are inherently UV resistant. However, it's slightly more complicated than that. You can determine if your powder is a polyester or urethane by reading our color codes.
