Re: Powder Coating: Wheels
Implement paint is only cheap paint. Most implement manufacturers now use powder coating or E coating. On a quarter million dollar tractor, faded paint or easily chipped coatings would not fly. Powder coating here is very good and about $40 per wheel if it is glass beaded and ready to spray. Powder does not hide flaws just as plating does not.

Re: Powder Coating: Wheels
If you live within driving distance of Reno, Nevada, you can get 4 mil thickness powder coating done for $ 35.00 a wheel, and that includes blasting the wheels. "The Powder Man" has been in business over 30 years and the quality of his work is excellent. The owners name is Julian Garate, 855 Marietta Way, Sparks, Nevada (off Glendale Ave.) , 775-359-2480 . For a deep black finish use "Bumper Black", if you are doing a frame and do not want the gloss finish you can go with " Satin Black ".
There is a difference in powder coating, some only apply about 2 mil thickness to save money; I believe Les Schwab uses a thin coating ? The end result depends on the metal being powder coated; rust pits or defects are not filled with the powder coating process; thats why lots of restorers choose to paint their wheels. Ron |

Re: Powder Coating: Wheels
Terry, I'll echo some of the comments above re: TSC Implement Paint. I've laid paint onto a few tractors and can only say that you get what you pay for. The TSC paint MAY stand up, but the odds are against it. Hopefully you get lucky and it works for you.

Re: Powder Coating: Wheels
I had the wheels on my roadster powdercoated for $70 ea. at Central Mass. Powdercoating. That included sandblasting, polyester priming and powdercoat black gloss, fairly thick coat. Good people to work with and am very satisfied and no sanding!
