Bradford combines the perfect combination of workmanship, professionalism and customer service. Every interaction with both Mike and Raphael was wonderful and both went above and beyond in helping us with a very tight timeline for our spiral stairway project. They REALLY hustled to meet a short deadline for us! Mike was also very helpful in choosing just the right color to match our existing trim. The workmanship is of extremely high quality and our finished staircase is beautiful. We cannot recommend them more highly!

Wow! Extremely impressed with Bradford Powder Coating. Same day high quality powder coating is beyond impressive. Them partnering with Wheel Depot made the transaction simple and quick. My gloss black wheels on my 2016 Focus ST came out looking amazing. Rafael from Bradford was friendly, knowledgable, and extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Jesus at Wheel Depot was an extreme help as well. I will recommend all my friends/family and plan to be a return customer as well. Bradford Powder Coating is awesome!

If you are looking for a top-notch, high quality powder coat job, look no further, these guys are the real-deal! I had another shop here in SD powder coat my wheels last year and within a few months my wheels had close to 10 chips down to the metal. Long story short, that shop didn’t stand behind their work, nor do it correctly (didn’t sandblast the wheel after acid dipping to remove the factory paint/powder coat and used the cheapest powder coat product possible) and wasn’t going to fix the problem so I went and visited Bradford. From the moment I spoke with Rafael (manager) I knew I was at the right place. He ending up telling me the powder coat job I had was sub-par and would continue to chip. He ended up giving me a tour of their factory and showed me a few examples of very high end wheels they were powder coating for other clients. The end result of the powder coat is excellent and he made it clear they stand behind their work. I would highly recommend using Bradford Power Coating!

Got my wheel powder coated instead of purchasing new rims and so glad I did! Mike was awesome and went out of his way in helping me select the perfect wheel coating for my truck. Bradford does high quality work with excellent prices and service. I am extremely pleased and if you are considering getting new rims I suggest Bradford powder coating instead for huge savings without giving up quality, highly recommended !!

This place is amazing. I will rave about them to the fullest. I found them on Yelp thanks to all the good reviews. I said, heck give them a call. Mike and his team were super helpful and gave me a great estimate that I could not say no to. Most places were charging me $300 to $400 or more for the same thing he did and most other places were having me only take the rims, where Bradford has another wheel specialist take them off, align and balance the car for you once completed. I called when it was convenient for me to drop off my car, made my appointment and they told me exactly what to do, where to drop off my car and kept me updated via text. They sent pictures and showed the progress of my wheels throughout the day. I seriously recommend this place. I drove from La Mesa just because of the great reviews and awesome customer service they provided. Ten stars to them and I will definitely consider them again for wheel coating. Thank you Bradford for the awesome service. You and your team are great. I love the color and my new wheels.
— Corina M.

Mike and his team are amazing! I had such a great experience powder coating my rims. He was very thorough and helpful with helping me make a final decision for my rims and even sent pictures of the progress along the way. I ended up going with the semi-gloss and so glad I did. The customer service was exceptional. The whole process was easy and my rims turned out amazing. I can’t thank them enough!
— Amanda B.

This place is amazing. I don’t leave many reviews, but this merited it. I was looking to surprise my fiancé by powder coating her wheels on her Jeep GC gloss black. Mike contacted me within a day, and scheduled an appointment three days after that. He provided a very good price and there were no surprises upon invoice. It was same day service, dropped it off at wheel depot and picked it up that night, which was incredible. Mike texted me throughout the process to keep me updated as well as shared photos of the wheels. The wheels came out even better than I imagined and to say my fiancé was speechless, would be an understatement. If I could give them 6 stars, I would. Can’t wait to go back there with my car to get my wheels done! Thanks again Mike!!
— Ryan W.

Best customer service EVER!
Everyone that has seen my wheels so far has complimented me and I could not have been happier when I saw my car. I did my research and Bradford’s is the way to go. They have very competitive pricing and keep you updated with pictures of the progress. This is a one-stop shop: dismount tires, powder coat, balance wheels, complete and TPMS maintenance, you name it. Highly recommended.
— Ignacio D.

Wow... just wow. Everything about this shop went above and beyond expectations. I brought in my te37 ultra wheels for my GT-R and let me be honest with you... it turned out magnificent! I just can’t get over how good they look! The process was prompt any the quality remained fully intact.

Mike and Raphael are so great! They go over every single detail of the process. Your happiness is their number 1 priority and it shows. I can tell this will be a long lasting friendship.

What’s also great is that they work directly with Wheel Depot (another amazing shop) to mount tires and program your tpms. You don’t have to worry about them ruining your freshly powder coated wheels because they work directly with Bradford Powder Coating! They know what they’re doing!

Getting the exact wheels that I’ve dreamt about for so long finally came true and these guys helped me make it happen!
— GTR Wendy

First off, Rafael is the best! I went in not knowing much about powder coating car wheels and the team at Bradford patiently answered questions and helped me make the best choices.

Rafael talked to me about color options and made great recommendations to have the cars come out looking sharp. I went with the semi-gloss black and do not have any regrets.

Also, the partnership with Wheel Depot is very smooth. Jesus and Alex, the Bradford coating contacts over there, are kind, professional, and take fantastic care of your car through the process.

It is hard to find a place that can powder coat wheels same day. Typically the process to coat wheels takes 3-5 days, even though the process of sandblasting, spaying, and baking can be done in hours. Bradford does same day powder coating and offers the best quality and service you will find in San Diego. I highly recommend their work and the expertise of their team!
— Ian L.

I originally chose Bradford Powder Coating because the excellent reviews and they were one of the closest shops to me at the time. Upon arival, I was welcomed into the shop and shown the difference between having a clear coat and not, and explained the benefits vs cost. After making a selection of color (red barron) and clear coat, we discussed numbers. Although, the price was more than I was hoping to spend, it was within my budget. A couple days later, I got the call that my parts were ready, and they looked so much better than I could have imagined. A big thanks to the fellas and the boss! A real pleasure to work with and if im in the area again, this will be the shop I go to for all my powder coating needs!
— Brandon G.

There is really nothing I can say about Bradford’s that would describe how amazing they are but I will give it a shot. I bought some WCI wheels and had them special ordered with a gold finish. Once I got them in the mail and got the tires mounted on them I noticed that the finish was awful and was already peeling off the wheels. Now I can say that I am glad that happened because it brought me over to Bradford’s. I explained the situation to Mike and he was extremely helpful with everything. They had a 1 day turn around on my wheels and they looked beyond fantastic. I have since been back for curb rash repairs and they have even helped me out with that. Mike told me that once I because a customer I was like family and I sure feel that way after the treatment I have gotten from them. I would advice anyone who is looking for quality work that is very affordable and wants excellent service on top of that to look no further than Bradford’s.
— Jacob R.

Mike, from Bradford Powdercoating, is a dream to work with. Very friendly, respectful, and extremely helpful. He really bent over backwards helping me with an unusual custom job I asked him to do. Best of all, the quality of the work is EXCELLENT. I had a set of rims done in semi-gloss black, and they look just amazing, he also “erased” some minor surface scratching on the wheels also.
— Joe G.

Great, friendly, cost effective, customer service and reasonable turn around times. Will be coming back shortly for a third round.
— Thomas O.

I had my wheels powder coated at Bradford. The finish was perfect but it was darker than I expected. Mike was terrific at working with me to do additional samples and a promised to do the job again at a discounted cost. He sincerely wanted me to be satisfied. Ultimately I came to like the original color. You can’t beat this service. It was done in one day and included the removal and re-installation of my wheels. I’m very happy.
— A Google User

Quality work! I couldn’t be happier with how my rims turned out. Bradford works with a local wheel shop to remove and then to install your finished rims. Excellent service and friendly people at both locations.
— Steve J.

Wow. What an amazing experience at Bradford Powder Paint.

I usually never leave posts but I felt it was the least I can do to show my appreciation to this place.

First of all...the team was extremely nice, helpful and accommodating. They took me in the moment I called and kept me updated to every step of my wheel powder paining service.

Mike sent pictures and made sure I was okay with every step they were about to do. Mike also went over and beyond to help me with a scratch on my vehicle as well.

I will recommend Bradford Powder Painting to anyone and everyone whose interested in getting that work done. They did an amazing job.
— Jonathan C.

Great Place, Excellent Service and Quality, Reasonable Prices
Rafael and Mike are the best!
— Steve W.

I chose Bradford to Powder Coat the rims for my BMW X3 M40i because they had the best ratings on Yelp for Powder Coating even though they are in Chula Vista and I live in Carlsbad. I am a perfectionist and wanted the best job done.
I am happy to report I was not disappointed
(and I am extremely hard to please.) They did a fantastic/flawless job!! And Mike was tremendous communicating with me. Every time I called or texted him he got back to me right away. And his price was very fair. During the process I was able to spend some quality time talking with Mike and quickly realized his is a honest, straight shooter and a high quality individual. I also learned that Bradford is a family business and has a great history behind it (starting with Mike’s Dad.)
I love to support family businesses especially when they are run by high quality individuals like Mike. Because they did such an amazing job on my wheels, and I really like Mike (he’s a great guy!) there is no other place I will go in the future besides Bradford!! Rest assured you will have a tremendous experience here!!!
— Bill M.

5 solid stars! Mike and Raphael provide the best customer service and quality workmanship. My fiance brought her te37 wheels here to get powder coated rose gold and it turned out stunning. If you’re worried about etching or engraving on your wheels, they know exactly how to deal with them.

Her wheels look absolutely amazing. I really like that they can provide small samples. They are very thorough in explaining what obstacles (if any) or results to expect.

They’ve worked with many high end vehicles so you can rest assured that they take pride in what they do. Thanks again Mike and Raphael!

Seriously cannot day enough good things about Bradford Powder Coating. The work they do is phenomenal. I am very happy with the results on my wheels. On top of that they are excellent at keeping you in the loop and letting you know how the process is going and even sending pictures. We talked to a lot of places but not only did Bradford give us better prices but they also did it in a fraction of the time we were estimated other places.

If you want top of the line powder coating definitely give them a call.
— Eric B.

Called to schedule an appointment after receiving a quote on yelp from Mike. Wasn’t looking to get my wheels coated until the following week so he told me to call that following Monday. Called and they walked me through the process of where to take it. I chose gloss black. I love that they have a set up at wheel depot to take the tires off the wheels and then they go to pick them up. I dropped my car off at 2 on Tuesday and picked it up at 1 on Wednesday. Got a discount as well for being a veteran! Super quick turn around time. I love my new wheels, they did an amazing job.
— Blair R.

Mike and his team did an excellent job! This was my first time powder coating something I didn’t know what to expect. Mike was kind enough to guide me through the process. I wasn’t able to go and drop off the cage that I needed to powder coat, so he let me go after work hours to drop off my cage and to pick it up. He did an amazing job and he did it very fast! I love the look of my cage ! I recommend this place 100000000 %!
— Francisco C.

Mike and Rafael at Bradford Coating is legit! They did an outstanding job powder coating a set of wheels. Came out just like I expected and more. I went with the glossy black and wheels look WET! Dropped car off at 3 on Wednesday and picked up car Thursday by noon.
— Jeremiah S.

I’ve been searching all over San Diego to find the best powder coating company I could find, these guys are it. I have some BBS rims that I wanted to refurbished and restore back to its glory days. Originally they were silver and had paint peeling, they were in dire need of help. I contacted these guys and they said they would sand blast, hand sand, and powder coat my rims all in the same day. I dropped them off at 0830 and picked them up at 1730. Amazing customer service, especially when picking paint. They came out to my car with samples and helped me choose. The job was done right, and I can see my wheels lasting me a long time. If you have quality wheels and are concerned, don’t be with these guys. I’ve seen 2 piece wheels separated and being worked in the back, I mean these guys do it all. In the pictures you’ll see rims in the oven, there is a green piece of plastic on the back wheel hub, this is to protect the surface that touches your rotors. They even sand the back wheel hub after painting, just to ensure your safety. I’m enjoying my wheels, I’m sure you will too.
— Michael L.

Got my drag wheels and strut bar powder coateded Wet Jet Black and they came out looking great! Fast turnaround and great price. Highly recommend this shop! Will be returning soon
— Juan A.

Hands down the best powder coating company.
Prices are fair and I trusted them enough to powder coat my Volk wheels twice. The best part about using this location is convenience. You drop your car off at a tire shop they work with, and by the end of the business day the wheels are done and you drive home happy. The owner is really cool and he personally makes contact with you to make sure you have completely satisfied.
— Marvin V.

There is absolutely no doubt why these guys have such great reviews. Took my wheels in and within 4 days they were not only ready but came out amazing!! These were a do-over as RW Little screwed them up. I will not be going anywhere else for powder coating other than Bradford. Thank you Mike!
— Paul T.

After many weeks of searching for a reliable powder coat/paint service company I bumped into Bradford’s and couldn’t be happier. I found this place with the help of Yelp, read some comments saying how satisfied they were with their final product and decided to come down and take a look at the place.
What I found was a friendly, trusty, clean, fast and professional team.

Story: Had been looking to refurbish/repair my Porsche wheels and powder coat them. Some of my wheels were really damaged (curb rash, dents and deep scratches). Most of the paint/wheel repair shops asked me to bring the wheels demounted (no tire). Most of us cant take the time or even have the right tools/knowledge to remove them out AND THEN take them back to the shop.
Thats where Wheel Depot and Bradford’s Powder Coating partnership/teamwork made miracles and facilitated everything for me. I just had to drop my car in Wheel Depot and they would start this whole project. They demounted them, repaired them, sent the wheels to Bradford’s for painting and then back. Everything worked out smooth and really transparent with how they operate.

They gave me and my car exceptional service and kept me updated with the ongoing progress.
You would think this cost me a fortune hahah but it didn’t! Price was fair and direct, no hiding fees, all straight up!
They had a variety of paint colors, from basic to some really beautiful and exotic.
They work together in the process with Wheels Depot, who took amazing care on repairing and bringing my wheels back to life before the powder coat.

For many of us it is really hard to let other people handle your car issues/maintenance/upgrades, but I would never hesitate to visit Bradford Powder Coating/Wheel Depot for anything besides car jobs!

Overall I’m amazed and over the moon the results. Theres not a single time where I get compliments on my car and its all thanks to Bradford Powder Coating and Wheel Depot!

Thanks for taking care of us and making a dream come true!!
— Jaime D.

These guys did an exceptional job on my wheels. Easy to work with and prices are reasonable. Highly recommend them.
— Matt B.

I chose Bradford because of their partnership with Jesus at Wheel Depot. I have a Tesla Model 3, and special care must be given, using lift pads so not to destroy the batteries on the bottom of the car. Mike at Bradford provided same day service and I am beyond pleased with the results. Exception work with the powder coating - thank you, Bradford!
— Steve E.

Okay, where do I start!
I called Mike and right away I knew I was at the right place. I’ve used many powder coating places before and they always have receptionists that don’t seem to care and quote you ridiculous wait times and I thought it was normal. Not with Bradford..Mike answered the phone and told me that my car rims would be ready the same day. Other shops wanted me to take the tires off myself and drop the rims off and come back 7 to 10 days later. What would I do without a car for that Long.
Mike had us drop the car off at a Wheel Depot and picked up my rims and took them back and installed them. This whole process was done the same day within hours.
I still can’t get over the level of personalized service we received and how much I saved. His price was way less than others and I didn’t have to be without a car for over a week!
I can’t recommend this place enough!
So happy with their work and looking forward to taking my patio furniture to them :)
