Hey man, do you know that place where Randy got his wheels powdercoated? If so, can you find out how much it would be to (A)rechrome my wheels, and (B)powdercoat them black?

I would highly appreciate it man!!

No, Randy never told me where, just that it was somewhere around here. If you can get the addy or a # from him, he is on the board once in a while, I know this area pretty well and could definatly find it. Will be glad to help.

Rob, here's the email I got from Randy.

Hey Jack,

The name of the place was PBS. Its a L shaped building in Giebelstadt.
Its right next to Bravria Yatchs. Hope that helps. By the way when I got
my Corvette rims powdercoated he charged me 50dm a rim. I dont know what
they will charge now with the whole Euro thing. Take Care!!

Stateside and loving it!!
Randy

Cool, Gieb isn't very big, I will look today, and if they are open on a Sat, see what they can do. If they aren't open I will check on prices and stuff on Monday. Did Randy say they do a good chrome job? I don't want you to get another sh!tty job on them, I saw what they did with the powder coat, and that was sweet. I will keep you posted on the results.

I don't even know if they do chroming, but I am assuming they do!

Thanks!

Jack, stopped by today around 11, and the place was locked up like a virgin on prom night. I was going to stop by yesterday, but got busy with alot of personal stuff I had to take care of. Well I don't know if they were out to lunch or what, maybe one of those Bayernish holidays. I will stop by and at least get you some #'s tomorrow so you can get in touch with them, as I am heading to the winter wonderland (Warfighter) on monday, until about first of Feb. WaaHoo.

Sorry for the trouble Rob!! I am just gonna get it done here man!!

I checked with a place here that does awesome work! Plus, I would have paid the difference in the gas alone! :p

Jack are you still thinking about powder coating the rims??? Or are you actually doing it?

Roy · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2002 3:38 pm

Jack
I don't remember if I said this before . But getting your wheels dechromed is a little pricey. Although powder coating willstick to chrome better then rattle can. It will eventualy flake off.
Good luck Man

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2002 5:22 pm

Actually, Roy, it's not costing me anything!

Have your wheels started flaking???

I'm not too worried about that, because by the Summer of '03, I plan on having a set of Forgeline GT3s!!

No trouble man. I was thinking that I could pick the rims up from you anyway. I am always over there somewhere, driving one of the Warrents I work with. I go to Miesau about once a month, sometimes more. Whatever you want to do. I will get the numbers anyway... just in case.

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 09, 2002 9:29 pm

Ok, that sounds good man! Thanks!

RT1 · **Posted:** Sun Jan 13, 2002 5:13 pm

Dude, I don't know if I am stupid or what... I can't find them open, thus didn't get any prices. I just hope they answer their phones. O and you could also MPS the rims over here. Well here is the #'s: Voice 09334 / 993270, Fax 09334 / 993250. I will be in the field until the 1st so, if you want to get with me one the cell, 0160 262 5744. I might be back on the MLK weekend, they haven't told us Y/N on that one yet, and I might be going to see Tony. I could swing by K-town, or meet you there @ Tony's. It's all up to you. Just want to give you the most options. Good luck with this.

Thanks man!!

Don't worry about it..

SRZ · **Posted:** Wed Jan 16, 2002 9:17 am

Jack? Where was the place you were going to get them done in K-town? How much were they gonna charge?

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 16, 2002 12:31 pm

John, I'm still waiting on an answer, because now they're gonna have to sandblast them. I can never make up my mind, but the back 2 wheels are still good, so I'm thinking I'm just gonna have the 2 front wheels rechromed!!

JackZ28 · **Posted:** Wed Jan 16, 2002 12:33 pm

Oh, and it is OK Car Styling!! They said initially that it was gonna be about 75 Euro for powdercoating, and about 150 for chroming! I can pay for 2 to get rechromed for the same price I can have them all powdercoated. Since I finally bought a set of Winter tires, I can leave the chromies off!!

SRZ · **Posted:** Wed Jan 16, 2002 3:50 pm

That's all they said they'd charge?! Man they must've been tryin to dupe me or something I'm takin a wheel off tonight and heading down there to get a quote
Thanks Jack
