[blackace]

Which method is better for colouring my wheels

power coating

or any other suggestions?

Powder coating id say

 

[duncansharp]

Yeah definately powdercoat.

 

[blackace]

does anyone now you can get the clours you want in power coat?? store e.g halfords

 

[BioHzrd]

im sure you have to get powdercoating done at a bodyshop/sprayers as the paints baked on

 

[duncansharp]

Yeah you can't powder coat yourself. needs doing professionally, but shpuld last far far longer than paint, and shouldnt chip. Think you can get most colours as far as i know. Best to phone a place and ask for some info though dude

And dont use normal filler if your doing a DIY refurb as Im sure powder coating relies on the objects conducting electricity. But you can get conductive composites that you could use!

^^ Yeah, powder coat only sticks to conductive material. You can get nearly any colour.

so if powder coating relise on conductive material, how can i get the centre caps done in the same colour. There plastic

Thats the problem you cant ...but you can buy a spray from Halrauds and try and match it

I dont like the finish you get from powder coated wheels, normal basecoat and laquered sprayed on gives a much nicer finish and gloss.
