Powder coating on rims.

[dshivan]

Im thinking about having my pepper pots powder coated gold and the kick panels, any thoughts opinions?

Would like to see some coloured PPs. I have been wondering what black with red rim tape might look like. There would be the advantage of not having to constently polish to keep em look'n good too.

I was going to have this done on my sigma turbo alloys and it has only gotten as far as dropping them off at the sandblasters so far.
They said that I would be better off getting them done in 2 pak?.

Not sure how accurate this is but I was told by a powder coating specialist that the end result is somewhat porous and not as suitable for exterior automotive jobs like wheels, vents etc. So based on that advise I would say high impact 2 pack would be the go.
Any (actual) experts out there that can confirm or deny this?

find another coater! the front control arms on my HQ are powder coat , done 13 odd years ago, good as new a hell of a lot of Motorbike frames done in powder as well, Id 2 pack its easier to get off if you decide you hate it, easier to fix if you scratch it.

I was working for an aluminium fabrication firm and we had 99% of our work powder coated and any of the metallic,high gloss stuff was actually painted in Two pack.
Go to a good panel shop and get them painted in 2K with a flex additive in it. The flex add makes the clear as tough as nails for some reason.I speak from experience.
