Stripping Technolgies (powder coating)

[Dave_The_BMXER]

It was suggested I make a new thread so I did.

This is a friend of mine's company, I have not had any work done by him but know a few people who have and have said nothing but good things.

If you are looking for another option:

I have no reason to beleive that JP will rip off anyone and do anything less than a great job.

'Liked' him on facebook.

Always love options/competition. Depending on price I might have some rims for him to do :)

Thanks a lot!

[vip3r87]

Got in contact with JP about my new wheels. Great communication. Seems like a down to earth guy, I will more than likely be giving my money to him in the early new year. And his prices are amazing!

thanks again!

[XTOTHEL]

At first glance I expected a NSFW thread lol...just me and my engrish

They're in the tri-cities for once :)

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Actually I missed a letter haha. Mods if you could change that?

i had my wheels done be JP, he did an amazing job for only $240!, he is a very nice guy and is very honest with you about things and plus he was willing to meet me halfway between Toronto and Cambridge so i wouldn't have to go all the way

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Glad you are happy with his work. :)

[DumpInfo]

Dave, maybe your buddy should open up an account here and possibly become a sponsor. I might want to consider doing the faces on my lm's. Am curious as to what's available, type of colours, and what route to go with when powdercoating them.

[Default User]

Good to see more options.

FB link doesn't work for me (?) maybe a tapatalk error

[The Wolf]

Works on my playbook. They're local to me and do pearl clearcoats? Yeeeaaah buddy!

[07carbon3]

Search him on FB he has a page for stripping technologies, the nice thing with him is that does a media blast and not a chemical dip. He told me he uses exterior powders for his colors, apparently some places that do funky colors use interior powder that won't hold up as well outside on a wheel.

at one point he had glow in the dark powder and heat colour change powder.

[krimsalt]

Looks good... I may be in the market for powdercoating when I get my new car

[Lactose]

dumb question, do people powder coat rotors??

Simple google search says people do it, not sure specifically on the MZ3 though.

[Booter22]

dumb question, do people powder coat rotors??

i would think more so the hub and vents but not the face.

[michaelm]

Great guy to deal with, very good pricing.

[k13]

Do they mask the hub and bore when powdercoating?

My review on Facebook:

The Toronto Mazda 3 club's group buy with Stripping Technologies Inc. has been a great success. I had been talking with STI for four months and finally it is just about wrapped up! They have patience for all your questions (and we had a lot), they are a great help and the price is amazing. They were very accommodating with all of our schedules and the complications that come along with a large group buy (I think we were up to 18 sets of wheels). They were even nice enough to allow a few more people in on the deal even after the group buy was closed. The turnaround time was great. And best of all everyone's wheels look amazing and I think everyone is very happy. I cannot wait for summer not only to get my new wheels on, but to see how all the others turned out. This was my first time helping organize a group buy and STI made it very easy! I would deal with STI again and recommend them to anyone.

$240 for a job like that is amazing and the look flawless. Might definitely look into getting my rims done as well.

damn it was only 240 lol i forget now. need to clean the wheels up soon, they look nowhere near that clean

[The Wolf]

will be posting mine up here when they're done :D

[schmat66]

JP did my set in Dormant Purple last year

This year he did my rims again in Nuclear Green. He learned how much of a pain dormant can be But did his magic and my rims are stunning yet again

he has also done my girlfriends rims which pictures are not released as the rims are a secret but when there posted ill post a pic here!

[Mazdy]

Not sure whats the last word on this....but is he still willing to meet halfway?

Anyways by any chance..any of you that lives in Cambridge that might be around in the westend can do me a favour and bring my wheels to them? Ill pay delivery fee :)

[The Wolf]

Better late than never.
had my wheels done matte bronze metallic this spring. JP helped me decide on the colour, and I'm glad I took his advice.

[FD22]

Echoing Steve's post, better late than never.. haha

Had my wheels done by JP this past Winter, in Candy Teal. Love the way they came out, and the price from JP was great as well.

[Mitchell3]

As much as I want to try again with a powder coating project - not sure what the plan with my car is. JP does good work. If I dug around enough I could show you pics of my MB battles on 3 cars other than mine haha. They sold like crazy..

[Kiewan]

My GF saw Ryan's hatch in the dumped photo below and wanted them :( Lucky me haha
I Didn't have a lot of money last fall so bought a used set of OEM Gt wheels from another member. They were covered in grey chipping Duplicolour, and one had a bend which was hiding until i unmounted the tires. All had minor curb rash. They fixed the bend for an additional cost, ALL curb rash and traces of chipping paint were eliminated during sand blasting. The end result was amazing and I couldn't be happier. Cheap set of used wheels made new.

Last year we all met at his shop one day. some members brought others members wheels down! hope that would work :)

[ValdesX]

I'd be down for this.

[Kiewan]

Bit of a bump.

Had my second set powder coated with Stripping Tech. and dealt mostly with Mike this time.

Mike arranged for a weekday drop off and a Dec. 27 (SAT) pickup. He called me letting me know they would be done a week early and I could pick them up on a Saturday. Ronan also texted me last night letting me know they were done. Mike gave me a more reliable number for the shop as I had an old one, Picked up the phone each time I called and left voice mails when I did not have reception at work. He was very pleasant to work with and communication was excellent this time around.

The application of coating and overall quality is slightly better than my older purple set which are still damn good. I am very impressed with their work, and their improved communication as of late. I would not hesitate to recommend the shop to friends or anyone else seeking this service.

Included several pics to show coverage and quality of work.

I had my 3rd set done 2 weeks ago. The Price is still the same, the quality is still exceptional. I Dealt primarily with Mike again on the phone to arrange pick-ups/ drop offs and JP via Facebook messaging & text.

The Wheels were held up by a shipment of acrylic clear coat but ST tracked it down and notified me every step of the way.

All moderate curb rash was fixed with sand blasting process and the wheels were powder coated ebony chrome. (Future plans for starlight purple on and a set of TE37 reps ect., on a faster future car.)

I am Very happy with this shop and I will continue to refer people here.

[Gods Son]

Looks like I'm gonna have to get on this. Any uncharge on larger rims? I'm a cx-5 cousin :chuckle

When switching to snow tires today: i found that 2 of my wheels are flaking around the lug nuts. I am not happy with my most recent set which was done early summer this year, and I will be reaching out to Stripping Technologies regarding this quality concern.

[S.F.W.]

Keep us posted on the response. Am very curious how they handle the situation.

[Mr Wilson]

Might be the photo, but looks like the socket was jammed in there pretty good. Might want to use a sleeker socket on your lugs, or at least tape it.

[Hyperion]

Looks like some user error there. Don't use impact sockets, they are much too thick.

[SonicBoy]

Thin wall Sockets with vinyl protectors (https://www.amazon.ca/Performance-Tool-W32902-5-piece-Imperial/dp/B00AMEJF5K/ref=s9_simh_gw_g469_i1_r?pf_rd_m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_s=&pf_rd_r=0N5WVWHXJJ9DHW919N69&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=b06971ce-9992-44c1-9ee0-eb9792e71b5e&pf_rd_i=desktop) are the way to go with powder coated wheels. Mazda's use 21mm.

Keep us posted as S.F.W. stated.

[Kiewan]

My car was taken to Active Green and Ross by a family member instead of my regular tire place while I was at work.... FACK

I checked each wheel last night and every one has similar damage (not nearly as bad) on the inside around the lug. The picture is just of the worst.

The damage was most likely their impact socket used by some ****, then deteriorated throughout normal use and weather..... lesson learned.

Thanks for the input, I was frustrated as you can imagine when writing the first post.

Sorry to hear. But I would not use Active Green and Ross at all...I had my share of bad experience with them.
It would still be awesome if Stripping Technologies will help you out.

I didn't know it was going to go to active green and ross till afterwards. Yeah, I'll be avoiding them.

I can reach out to ST, but am not one to expect them to repair damage caused by another shop. I will inquire about how much the repair might be, but that's also $$$ going to tire dismounting so if its substantial, I'll cut my losses, and lesson learned.

[mazdasport]

Lesson learned... When your tires are on rims already switch them yourself lol

[Kiewan]

The tires weren't on the rim. They were mounted and put on the car at the same time, but you're right, next time I'll put them on the car myself.
