Thanks for everyone’s thoughts and input. I have found several folks on the outskirts of town who have intimated that they might consider something in the $75-$80/wheel pricing depending on the number of wheels. Since I already invested in the powder from Model A Wheel Colors, I think that this may be my best option at this point. My roadster and touring car both have painted wheels, so I will probably go back to painting wheels and running gears after this. I’ve done four cars with powder-coated running gears and I like the fact that powder coating seems to wear better than paint, but on the other hand, I think that I can probably get a much smoother finish with paint. At my age, I won’t be re-restoring these cars again. Again I appreciate everyone’s thoughts and comments.
