Unfortunately scrapped my rear wheel. Any recommendations for repairing this satin black factory GT3 wheel? Ideally in South Florida. Thank you. Kerbed this rear wheel
Two wheel repair shops I spoke to said they would only repaint the wheels and not powdercoat. If you're willing to ship, Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA does great work. Have used them for other types of wheels, not centerlocks. Got a quote for ~$225 to repair/refinish wheel. Would be curious if you find someone that would powdercoat and guarantee masking doesn't peel off centerlock section in oven. Personally I would rather have the wheel powdercoated.
I looked into this for my 991.1 Carrera, and it was recommended by the more professional shops not to do it, even at lower temps, as it can affect the metallurgy. I would just get it brushed out and painted.
I'm having my wheels coated as well. Other than the centerlock area and the backside of the wheel that meets the hub, what other sensitive areas should I communicate to the powder coater? Anything on the barrel or valve stem area, for example?
