Anyone with any experience with powdercoating wheels: Will the process fix minor to moderate curb rash on the wheel's outer edges? Or is there an extra charge to repair, and then powdercoat?

Thanks for any advice.

Usually they won't charge for that since they have to blast the wheel of any current paint etc and resurface it anyways before powdercoating. As long as its minor there should be no extra charge.

I am in Brooklyn. Shop is in Queens Village. If the wheels are off the car, I can come pick up your wheels and deliver it back to you free.

I have 3 sets of Powdercoated wheels.

X5 20's
X5 18's
M5 19's

Powdercoating rocks! Much more durable than paint.
