Default Formula Wheel Textured Collars refinished

Due to some interest. I have decided to offer servicing
Of YOUR Formula wheel collar. This involves stripping, Glass bead blasting ( Not crushed glass, or Sand, Or slag), prepping, and putting a 2 stage baked coating on your collar. Right now, I am only doing BLACK. This will look
Like NEW. and last basically for the life of your car. Cost:
You send me your collar, I refurbish it, and Send it back to you in SAME BOX, Priority mail for $ 55.00. Lower 48 I will accept cash. PayPal, and A PO Money order ( US. ). Canada will be $65. Due to Canada post costs. Aussies message me, I have stacks of Customs forms. Message me if interested. See pic below. You get OEM quality, upgraded.

Agree that's a bargain and you have it down! Took me 3 tries and several hours labor to get the wrinkle uniform and still didn't look as good as yours. Nice!!

Many more have been done. Washington, San Diego, Huston, Michigan UP, Ontario CA. I am not sure I will be doing these in the summer. Top 2 pics are after market 2pc set. Had to be submerged in stripper, cleaned, then bead blasted for correct "tooth" to hold the coatings. I am going to do a few Red ones I believe as there seems to be interest for Red Birds and later 70's Pontiacs.

These would be post 76 color tan. I have been working on the color with a guy who makes it, and have Not had a match yet, but I am working on it. I will update as I can, have tried 6 reds too, and its not what I am looking for .

Hi Bruce
I’m interested in having my black collar done for my ‘70 when you get up and running again.

Thanks!
