Powder Coating or normal paint?

Recommended Posts

I have a set off wheels i'm wanting to refurb, they just need quick sand blast.

Does anybody know of/recommend any particular companys/people??

I will be looking for a cash job..

EDIT..

Sandblasting done now trying to decide between powder coating or just primer and paint.

Any ideas? views?

Cheers

Some wheels can be damaged by sand blasting... Check the Grit before you get it sand blasted.

Make sure they dont use steel grit as it impregnates the surface with ferrous properties

Just call around the large powder coaters and they should be able to sort you

I powder coated my wheels.

see here http://www.bimmersport.co.nz/forums/index....c=26638&hl=

Excellent result and finish and not too bad dollar wise either from memory. Prices are in the tread somewhere.

If powder coating keep the bolt face and bolt holes clean with tape/corks otherwise you will need to clean them afterwards to avoid wheels loosening as the powdercoat softens from heat and will creep.

Cost wise you can paint is cheapest but the cured finish of powder will last longer than most diy paint ups.

OP changed

note powder coating wont stick very well to plastic type bog or filler, you will need to use a metal putty to fill any dings.
