The Ford Barn

Good morning All,

I'm looking to get feedback from people as I am thinking about offering a wheel painting service.

My background is in auto refinishing and industrial coatings (10+ years).

I recently blasted, primed and painted my set of Model A wheels and I thought about what type of interest there would be in the FordBarn community if I began doing this on the side.

In my professional opinion, a liquid paint system on these wheels is superior to powder-coating. This is due to the challenge of getting in and around the spokes while powder-coating (Faraday Cage Effect).

All wheel colors would be paint matched to the MAFCA panels.

The price would be $1000.00 ($200 Per Wheel) + shipping charges

The service would include,

- Garnet Media Blast (SSPC-SP5 - White Metal Blast)

- Epoxy Prime

- Acrylic Polyurethane Topcoat

- Additional Charge will apply depending on condition of wheel (spoke straightening, body work, etc - Cost will be discussed with customer before moving forward)

- Shipping would be an additional charge - Packaged by UPS

I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback and if there is any interest.

Thank you - Travis
