I took a pair of H4 trim rings to Shoreline Coatings in North Branford,CT to get powder coated. While there, there was a pair of Fuchs waiting to get powder coated. There were also what appeared to be some nicely done valve covers for a hot rod and some chrome exhaust pipes. Price was right for the trim rings but I haven't gotten them back yet. I pick them up next Friday. I can report back then and let you know.

where in CT you at?

I use this place in Windsor Locks, just across from the end of Bradley Airport - Robbie is a good dude, his prices are extremely reasonable, and he does fantastic work.

Robbie Clark
The Wheel Shop, LLC
70B King Spring Road
Windsor Locks, CT 06096-1152
(860) 623-8442


good luck, hope that helps

ps. wheels are painted OE, but you could PC them - your call, tho unsure if Robbie offers that...

I'll second the Wheel Shop in Windsor Locks- did a great job on all sorts of wheels I had, some were pretty road rashed.

dporsche74,

As promised. I got my trim rings back last night. Trevor at Shoreline actually had them done a week early but I wasn't able to pick them up until Friday. Nice job as far as I can tell. I would recommend him. Here's a picture of the work.

Good luck

pat
