Got my parts back from the powdercoater
I got My wheels back from the powdercoater today had them done gloss black for my pickup WOW do they look great. Had 6 wheels done 2 truck running boards 2 engine pans and the headlight bar all gloss black . They blasted them and powdercoated them all for 360.00 even had them all packed in cardboard for me. I put the new blackwall tires on tonight hopefully get them on this weekend!! Thanks for all the advice when I was thinking of getting them done.

Don't forget to mount the tires from the back side so no marks will show, and use the garbage bag trick!

Re: Got my parts back from the powdercoater
I just mounted my new tires on freshly powdercoated rims and had great luck useing silicone spray on the tire. I have also used the garbage bags and it worked great. Both were tricks I learned here on FORDBARN !!

Re: Got my parts back from the powdercoater
I got them done at GT Fabrication in Pittston, Pa. 570-883-0775 nice people, they have also done auto frames and big objects. Yes when I came home I put the tires on, matched the dot to the valve stem and mounted them from the back with the 2 tire irons all went on good. Hope to mount on the truck Saturday. It is going to look great the truck is Duchess Blue
