Guest Terry Posted August 26, 2012 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.
Mondo Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 My wheels are powder coated (match the frame/rollbar). No problems in 4 years.
blubarisax Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 My Rial wheel were powder coated by Mog-Racing, no issues either.
sdaddy Posted August 26, 2012 Posted August 26, 2012 I believe the "drying" temperature is around 400F. Shouldn't be hot enough to hurt the rim.
S1Steve Posted August 26, 2012 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 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.
