People talking about powder coating like they actually know shit about it.

The wheels have to e completely stripped… as in chemically stripped and then glass bead blasted to the bare metal.

They then should be baked bare. … Cooled

They are then coated with powder.

Baked again. …

The oven has to be LARGE enoufgh to fit a wheel geniuses. No $50 kitchen oven will fit a wheel.

If you want any chrome or specialty finishes there is more then one coat and it gets complicated.

There is a company in the yellowpages that coats. Buffalo Powder Coating or some shit. I used them as well as coated stuff myself.

I would HIGHLY recommend that you have the wheels painted instead. Coating will cost you almost as much as a new set of wheels.
