Who can recommend a place to get powdercoating
I want to powdercoat 4 rims which are painted gold atm, I want them to be white. Is powdercoating the best or will painting suffice?
If anybody can let me know of places and ball park figures, that would be awesome. Cheers |

painting is fine, just put a few layers of clear coat..
ive heard powderocating has to heat the rims and may change the metallurgic properties of the rim. making them more fragile.. |

But, consider the fact that powdercoating happens at a much lower temperature than what the rim was exposed to during manufacture. Just another thing I've heard. Seems to make sense. Opinions? :confused: |

+1 to that... I've done 2 years of powdercoating at Capral Aluminium back in my uni days and the metal has to go thru 200-250C oven (round 10 min in there) therefore check what ur rims are made out of...what kinda alloy before you do it. In terms of quality powdercoating is a heaps better than painting, lot more resistant to sun etc. |
