Not in a day no

Usually they bake them overnight so you will need a "spare" set... or see if someone on here will let you borrow a set?

Otherwize get the garage who you're buying the car off to do it pre-delivery.

Hi mate

Our sister company does powder coating & we deal with a few others to get roller shutter doors & parts coated.
Its basically a big oven, so hang the wheels up & put them threw. few hours tops if they got a good set up. Also depends on the prep work, are they dipping them & cleaning them up or have you just asked for them to be coated, things like that etc.
But i would have thought from scratch including cleaning up they could be done for the next day.
I would ask them for an estimate & come to an arrangement of drop off.... & could i collect....

where are u from, i got a quote from a place in glasgow, they could do it in a day,and that was everything if i dropped it off at 8am, something like £30 more if i just drove up and left the car there and picked it up at 6pm rather than just taking the wheels up and getting them next day

takes about 3 days so you will need axle stands and cover the brakes
