flavtfan Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 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 Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 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... 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. Quote
vegas style Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 ram pro line 702 396 4500 last wheel set i had done $25 per wheel for black. Quote
sanddunesaddict Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 ^^^ i heard they are good but I used State of the Art powder coating here in Vegas for my sandcar and so does Paul Tracy...they are good. Quote
1320 Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 i use ram proline.....for all the turbo stuff. He even did the chassis on the ls1 trike....stands behind his stuff too. Quote
flavtfan Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 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. Quote
flavtfan Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) haha, i just got a quote back from vegas powder coating that i submitted yesterday for 200 dollars haha....they've lost their mind Edited January 7, 2013 by flavtfan 1 Quote
mineurbiz Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 My buddy used a guy that charged him $150 for for an entire rack, I will findout who it was. 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.

flavtfan Posted January 7, 2013 Author Posted January 7, 2013 Cool thanks....I like 25 per wheel myself Quote
Adam @ GTP Off Road Posted January 7, 2013 Posted January 7, 2013 i miss my black wheels but have gotten used to the polished/ faded polished wheels. I will go back to the black wheels soon. I want to get the bead locks, and get the rings done in blue to match over the back wheel. should look cool. Quote
flavtfan Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) my buddy has a blue yfz with hipers and blue rings....looks sweet. i used to like the polished look but like the maintenance of black wheels, soon my handlebars and swingarm will be black too Edited January 8, 2013 by flavtfan Quote

flavtfan Posted January 8, 2013 Author Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) 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. Edited January 9, 2013 by flavtfan Quote
CaptNkllm Posted January 8, 2013 Posted January 8, 2013 Dewayne said $45ea for the wheels .. Not sure who you talked to over there but get there before fri and He will do for 40$ each.. Capt Quote
flavtfan Posted January 9, 2013 Author Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) 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? Edited January 9, 2013 by flavtfan Quote
CaptNkllm Posted January 9, 2013 Posted January 9, 2013 Contact me when your ready... Dewayne will be hard to find at that place after fri of this week.. No problem.. I asked him about it and he didnt recall the call of telling anyone anything lol.. I will let him know.Capt Thanks Capt for checking, I actually dropped them off at proline today so I could get the quickest turnaround for my trip next week.
