SunGodRA Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Further to this thread: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=38169 What are you opinions about Powder coating vs Paint? I have read this viewtopic.php?f=61&t=13283 but that looks to be an isolated incident and was a couple of years ago etc David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It may be hard to PC yours in the way you want due to them not being split rims... IIRC you cant mask for PC so probably be paint... If you were doing the whole wheel then I would say PC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 You will be fine powercoating them, but you will have to take them to a decent wheel place. They will PC the wheel first, then diamond turn/cut the lip again, before laquering the whole wheel and baking it on. That way you dont need to mask it. Wont be able to use a cheap wheen place though, will likely have to send them away to someone decent, like Spit and Polish or Lepsons. IIRC my old Rotas got sent to Lepsons (via MyAlloys in Basingstoke) to be done when I needed the polished lip, and thats exactly what they did to it. Beleive me you will see the difference they make doing it properly, the laquer was about half an inch thick on them and pretty indestructable! Way better than OEM! Infact Lepsons and Spit and Polish look like they may be down the road for you, thats good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
