Had my rims blasted in November along with many other parts. Cost for the blasting was approximately fifty dollars for all four rims and rings. I painted the rims because of the problem with touching up powder coating. Did get a few scratches from mounting but not that bad and I can touch it up. The other problem with powder coating, at least here in CT, is that I was told at every place I inquired that it would be about a month wait because they needed to accumulate enough parts for a run. Don't really see this as the case, just think there are alot of lazy powder coaters here. Lastly, getting my sheet metal blasted was an interesting expereince. No one wanted to touch it because of the problem of heat and worries of warping. Finally got a guy who just happened to have the equipment do the blasting and he did it in no time and did not cause any damage
