jon1178 Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have been contemplating getting my wheels powder coated for a while now and I think I am going to go ahead and it. My wheels are polished aluminum and the upkeep is becoming to time consuming for me. I am planning on coating just the middle black and leaving the lip polished. Will I have to have the wheels polished before coating or will they be ok the coat with just a good cleaning since they will be black and not clear.

04CHASE Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 if it was me id have them polished, then powdercoated black in the center and then clear coated over everything to seal the polished part, this way the up keep will be very minimal.
