Guest Terry Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Does anybody have any comments regarding having alloy wheels Power Coated? I have heard that the heat can damage the integrity of the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mondo Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 My wheels are powder coated (match the frame/rollbar). No problems in 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdaddy Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I believe the "drying" temperature is around 400F. Shouldn't be hot enough to hurt the rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Steve Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Terry, Vintage Motorsport, 2012, sep/oct. page 22. Has a very good article on the pros/ cons of powder coating wheels. I thought this winter I would powder coat my painted wheels, but I'll just do a better job with the paint can... Edited August 26, 2012 by S1Steve typing skills stink..

danilo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 :-) A simple rattle Can paint job can look pretty darned good and ..when.. they show degradation. Blow the $5/6 for a new paint can...and repaint them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
