Powder coated a friends 17" rims this past Saturday. Took a while to get the 5-6 coats of Krylon off.

Once we got all the paint off it was prep time.

Then for the coating.

And will cooking. 400°f for 10 minutes after the powder flows out. And you get nice results, if you cleaned thoroughly.

They look a million times better than they did before. And should resist rock/pebble chipping better than the krylon. Especially coating the face a couple times. Figured I would share .

Order one of those high temp. coating and tell me how it goes on the manifold? I did it one time but it flaked off after a while. I see there are even higher temp ones but they kind of mucho dinero.

Berta
05-29-2012, 05:30 PM
Rice, I don't know about the high temp coating. I'm sure it wouldn't work out since the oven is only turned up to 400f. You know I send my high temp applications to Swain Tech.

Can you powder coat cast part? Like the exhaust side of a turbo, or the center section?

Berta
06-05-2012, 11:38 AM
I can powder coat anything that is metal. But if your part will exceed 400°f, you might will have a problem. That's the temp its baked at. I'm not going to mislead and tell you differently. Stuff like exhaust manifold/Turbo hot sides/headers, I always sent to Swain Tech to get ceramic coated. But i can coat it if you insist on doing it.

Some of this is mines and others. My oven is limited to size. I'm going to build a larger hopefully soon. Have ppl that want motorcycle frames , etc of that size coated .. And about to get in the multiple colors. Haven't had enough time to play around with that yet. Yeah, seen "Powder by the Pound" before. They do have a good selection. Sounds like their name can go in many directions. Lol But Summit seems to be limited on colors, and there is Eastwood as well.

I have some 20" xxr 526 wheels I would like to have powdercoated in the center. They already have powdercoated centers. I took it to millers powdercoating and they said they couldn't do just the centers. The lips are pressed on and polished. Are you able to strip the centers and not powdercoat the lips? I have heard it can be done. Wanted a second opinion.

Berta
04-05-2013, 07:28 AM
Yes, it can be done. Surprised that they said they couldn't. You just mask off what you don't want to be coated. You can look at the beginning of this thread and see how the edge of the rim was masked off. But yours would be masked off more. If they are worried about stripping the current powder coat off and harming the polished lip, they could use paint stripper and the coating will have a "melting off" appearance than wrinkle off like traditional paint.

almightyone
04-08-2013, 11:32 PM
It was a little while back when I took it to them. But I believe he was worried about messing the lips up. Something about the tape they use might cause tape marks and the lips would have to be repolished out. If it wouldn't cause too much of a problem on the lips I would just repolish them myself. Really don't want to take them to a professional to have it done. Not like they are high quality wheels that I mind putting alot of money into them. Just want to try to change the look up a bit. Getting tired of the all black look on my car.

Berta
04-11-2013, 09:55 PM
They can use regular masking tape. They need to pull it while the rim is still hot. It will only leave the take adhesive behind. That's all! So clean the sticky off.

The powder coating is a kind of coating that is used as a dry powder, free-flowing. we can powder coat anything that is made up of metal.
