Tulsa Powder Coating
Thumbs down. :favorites68:
I called to check on my wheels today since it was the end of the week, this is what i was told. "The sandblasting is tearing off the metal in chunks and we dont have the time to fix it. Come get you wheels, take them somewhere to get sand blasted and smoothed out and we will still powder coat them for you but at a discount." WTF, so now I have one completely sandblasted wheel and three chrome ones and my center caps and other wheel accents at the paint shop. Fuck my luck. I am going to go to broken arrow powder coating on monday to see if they can help. I didnt use them first because TPC beat their price and they were recommended to me. That is what I get for trying to save money. |
I always thought they were supposed to use media blast stuff so that out won't damage aluminum
|
Like walnut shell? That is what I would have thought would been used
|
Shoulda used BAPC in the first place. They regularly do aluminum wheels and I have seen thier work.
Haven't heard anything good about TPC Hopefully BAPC will do you right. |
when i called the guy at bapc he was reluctant to do it.
|
I suppose since they are chrome clad it may be an issue. You nay have to find someone that specializes in media blasting and can remove chrome.
Wierd...he did some chrome pieces for me (not aluminum) and they came out grea BAPC is not cheap either! :( |
Damn dude not cool. I don't let people get away with the "Whoops, we messed up, cone get your shit"
|
It wasn't really we messed up, it was more we bit off more than we care to chew and now we are spitting it out. The one they did looks decent but they didn't finish.
|
Sorry to hear that bud. I know its no compensation, but the nice thing about this forum is that its all local, so knowing about a bad business may actually help other members.
|
I just got to keep on keeping on. I'm coming down there for spring break and wanted to have it all done
|
Down here? Dates?
|
I was going to sneak into the C&C but I can't if these wheels aren't done. We will be down there the 16th-22nd
|
This sucks to hear! BAPC did great on my bumpers. If I ever get my wheels done, I will let them do it.
|
I know they did Morgan, but like I said he was reluctant to do it when I called.
Al I called a media blaster place, they quoted me 200.00 a wheel and told me I should just buy new ones. I never knew refinishing a wheel was such a chore |
Dang man.... Sorry to hear that!! Too bad it had to be you that found out the hard way :/

|

Good luck! Hope they can fix them for you.

Well, after a trip to BAPC and a trip to my local painters I am looking for new wheels. The guys at BAPC said that once the chrome starts chipping they are trashed. the reason they can do Morgans bumpers is that they were in perfect shape. The powder coat wont "etch" once it has started chipping. I have been told by 3 different people I have to get new wheels. So I guess plastidip to the rescue until I can recover from the recent home renovations chrissy sprung on me. Frownie Face.

Find me some of the new R/T wheels and you can have mine.
|
That sucks! Is TPC going to give you anything for trashing your wheels?
|
Plastidip will be good for now so you can come down here Friday!
|
No, I can't realistically expect them to after talking to the guys at BAPC. The wheel was fucked when the chrome chipped. They should have known better than to touch it, I should have known better than to take them there. I guess enthusiasm isn't always a good thing. Everyone I have talked to has said once the chrome is chipping the wheels are ruined. The search can officially start but what, chrome again, black.... It took me almost 6 months to decide on a wheel style the last two times I bought wheels for a Ram
|
Try to find some black chrome wheels that you like.
|
that sucks... on my ram i might attempt to tuck a rockstar, ive always seen rock stars on lifted trucks.. just want to be different!
|
the truck on gamer had rockstars
|
|

|
I always like a clean five spoke.

|
