Got my parts back from the powdercoater

[1930pu]

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.

If you are that happy with their work you should show their name and phone number.

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

I mounted all of mine without garbage bags by using two tire spoons covered with cloth and had no chips on ten wheels. Just have to be careful. Powdercoat is much more durable than enamel.

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 !!

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
