Can't beat Pro Tek. Jay is a friend of mine and has done a lot for both me and my brother over the years. Last time I was there he had a new Lambo wheel in there as a showpiece. It looked amazing.

In case someone would like to do your own powdercoating at home, I have been powder coating at home for the last 5 years with great success. I've done hundreds of parts from nuts and bolts, brackets, intakes, wheels, valve covers to interior trim parts and much more. The results give a very professional look to any restoration project. I wrote an article to help take the mystery out of the process for the do-it-yourselfer. If you'd like to get started powder coating, just send me a PM with your email address and I'll get it right back to you.

Yep, the oven is big!
FreddyG, you're right some of those wheels are enormous. My powder coat oven is only big enough for those mid-80's 17 incher wheels. I'd like something bigger but it's also big enough for intakes, heads, I even did a drive shaft, countless brackets, timing covers and on and on. Overall I'm pretty happy with what I can put through my oven, until I can find one that's bigger!
