Powder Coating

Anyone know of a good powder coater in Las Vegas that can do my new set of Douglas wheels? I got a set of 8X8 wheels and need them semi gloss black instead of chrome. Also, what should I expect to pay to have 2 wheels coated? I'm moving from my 20X10X10 7 paddle extremes to 21X12X8 6 paddle haulers

i would say 30-40 per wheel, but not sure who to go to here. I wouldn't run Haulers on a 450+ bike preferably. The haulers aren't made for the 400cc+ bikes (per Skat~Trak), the Extremes are a much stiffer paddle and will give you better traction per paddle. Yes, i know a lot of people do, but to have extremes and switch... :slap:

I have ran a 22x11x8 8 paddle on my bike with current power, but at Coral pink (5500ft) and i could feel the power difference (loss) from the tire size.

I do know where you can get some new Black Bead lock wheels for the same price as new DWT and paying for the coating. I am changing over to the Bead locks soon i think.

If you want to sell the 20x10x10 let me know. i would be interested for the right price.

sounds good guys, I'll check them both out for pricing and turn around time. Rap, I talked to a lot of people including fullerton and skat trak and the 21X12X8 6 paddle is what pretty much all of them recommended for a stock to mildly built yfz for the best all around duning and better speed so we will see. I'm going to stick with my 20X10X10 7 paddle though as spares or if I just do not like the new ones. Looks wise I really like the look of the 10 inch wheel vs the 8 inch so we'll see if the 8's grow on me. I'm also sending the head and carb off for port work around May, right now I just have the big 3 done with the FCI, Pipe, and Cammod and it really hauls a$$. I'm going with a CP 12:75:1 piston, port/polish, and a 42.5 taperbore carb.

Haulers are a great tire for a 450 based bike, I run 6 pdl 22" haulers on my 450.

vegas powder coating was the place that wanted 200 dollars to do a pair of 8X8 ATV wheels. Proline is 80 for the pair and Surface Effects was 100 in case anyone was wondering.

Thanks Capt for checking, I actually dropped them off at proline today so I could get the quickest turnaround for my trip next week. Sorry about that Capt, I will edit my post, I went back to my email and it was actually vegas powder coating that quoted me for 200, I never got a reply back from State of the Art from their email contact information on their website. I should have emailed dewayne at operations instead of the sales dept. I'll look into them when it's time to do my swingarm. I have a friend that is wanting a banshee frame powder coated....you think he would do a decent price on that?
