Powder coating wheels

[luckyGAT]

Would powder coated wheels look good? The car is white i was wanting to get a white semi gloss on them . Has anyone ever done this with any part on the car and did it look good?

Mine aren't white, but I can account for the powder coating looking good...

My 'weaves are rattle-can painted

I just coudnt justify spending the cash to powdercoat basketweaves

I was quoted $40 per wheel.

So, I went with about 3 cans of Krylon industrial high gloss paint for $4 a can

Jason, when mounting tires and balancing tires, does the powdercoat hold up ? ie - doesnt scratch, gouge, or flake...

The tire machine still comes in contact with the wheel, which could scratch the surface of the wheel. I believe that would be what he is refering to.

If you want to powdercoat your wheels white, you might look into the cost of buying a set of white slicers. White 93's came with white wheels.

If the person doing the job isn't a dipsh!t, it won't be a problem. It isn't magic.

I hope to order in some White powder that should match the SHO color.

I have another guy that is interested in SHO white, and I'm in need of white slicers for my own car too.

If I can get enough people together, I can justify ordering the custom SHO white color rather than using the plain white that I already have on the shelf.

Thanks. Scott

Plus you have center caps

Isn't that type-R SHO the one that is on Ebay for being repo'd?

Don't forget that the factory white slicers only match the 93 and earlier white SHOs. Ford changed the white in 94 and didn't offer white slicers anymore. The factory white slicers are a different shade then the 94 white and won't match very well. I love my white slicers!

sorry to bring up such an old thread but i wanted to ask how well the center caps turn out when powdercoated? i've used my powdercoating kit on aluminum and other metals but never plastic like centercaps and was wondering how well they hold up and how well they look in general. thanks!

 

[NotSoSlowSHO]

you cannot powdercoat plastic.
