Questions

Powder coating FAQ

How much does wheel powder coating cost in Kitchener?

The Six Auto Pro lists a starting price of $499 for all 4 rims. Ask what preparation, tyre removal, remounting and balancing are included.

How much time does a railing finish add?

Brent's Welding lists 2 additional weeks for powder coating a completed custom railing. This is added finishing time, not the whole railing schedule.

What should I send for other parts?

Send photos or drawings, material, current condition, sizes, quantities, masking needs and colour. Include the date you need the parts back.

Good to know

  • The wheel package is a starting price for rims. Ask for a separate quote for railings or other parts.
  • Ask whether stripping, blasting and masking are included.
