[ATTACH=full]258375[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]258376[/ATTACH] these are pics of cars and wheels ive done. I did a full respray and the wheels on the golf and the wheels,spoiler, tailgate, rear quarter and rear door on the scoob. Im a spray painter thats my job, we repair wheels every day. Also the paint we use is baked at 80degrees and its stronger than powder coatring. Powder coating can flake off and this cant, also powder coating is a v poor finish!!!
£50 a wheel as long as any arnt damaged.Attachments
Powdercoating is weaker than paint??? ok you take a hammer to a painted metal surface and tell me if the paint flakes off!! you'll dent the material long before powercoat will fall off!
powdercoat is baked on at around 190degC
as for powdercoating being a poor finish! behave!

Fred do you know the paint code on them valver ph2 wheels are cheers

Sorry Fred didnt know you was a paint expert! Look I refurb wheels for a living, I do about 8 a day, I can guarentee you paint is stronger! And if powder coating was less chip resistant than paint and a better finish then why arn't our cars powder coated! You go to your local renault dealership and ask how there brand new off the shelf wheels are painted, I guarentee you they arn't powder coated mate! Also it doesnt matter what temp the paint is baked at, that doesnt make it stronger that just how long it takes to dry!
i'm not a paint expert, but my friend, who happens to own the largest wheel refurbishment company in the midlands, knows more than i do (and they do 50+ wheels a day)
you put a set of your wheels on a track car and i promise the paint will get too hot and flake off, powdercoat wont

No probs, believe what you want to believe. Paint is a better finish full stop, powder coating looses its shine, laquer doesnt! Im leaving it at that coz its going nowhere, every1 has there opinions.

you'll be looking at more than 35-50quid a wheel for them.
you'll need them powder coating and then polished back around the rim which is where your cost is going to come from. i'd be tempted to get them all polished for around 50quid a wheel, and then get them wet sprayed and laquered all over as it'll end up being easier

see thats where professional powdercoaters differ from backstreet efforts
2part powder systems, colour base coat laquer top coat
