I was thinking that powdercoating the spokes of the stock wheels gunmetal gray and leaving the outer areas of the rims would look pretty good........

Has anyone tried and/or done this?

You would have to mask off the rest of the rims, but I was wondering if you could leave the tape on during the "cooking" process so the powdercoat wouldn't bleed over. Does anyone have info on this and how high the temp is when the cook em? TIA.

Edit:

I meant leave the other areas of the rims the stock silver color.......

 

^^^^^

 

There was just a thread about this... try looking around in this section.

 

i think a polished lip would look better instead of leaving the outside the stock color

 

Yes there was... and it was started by THE SAME GUY!

Why did you need 2 threads to ask that?

PS- 1000 POSTS FOR ME!

 

Yes it is true, it was me......... but there was no definitive advice on if it can be done nice and clean, so I thought I'd try again...............

Ya know, different post, hopefully different results.......different set of people responding.........ya-dee-ya-dee ya.......

the temp is 400 degrees

 

I don't know much about powdercoating but it doesn't seem to me like this would work. Powdercoating works with an electical charge and I don't think the tape is going to stop that. I guess they could have come out with a new kind of powdercoating or a new kind of tape to resist the charge.
