poweder coating wheels

[zedhead26]

hi guys, i have a set of 19" starcorp wheels and i would like to get them powder coated black, leaveing the dish polished steel.

 

anyone know of where i can get this done in Brisbane for fairly cheep?

would anyone know how much im looking at too do this?

Just remember that powder coating is has pores and won't seal the surface of the wheel so it may not be the best coating for such a high weathered area.

I didn't know that either, but you usually powder coat suspension parts and they receive a fair bit of abuse?

I don't think that's right,

 

If powder coating had pores, and hence no seal, no one would use it.

 

Maybe power coating that is incorrectly applied has pores?

I did a little more research on this and there are a couple of different types of powder coatings. Apparently the powders that are classed as decorative are porous and not good for our applications. There are ways however to make it a good corrosion barrier that lasts for more than 15 years when exposed to the weather. Anyway this link might explain it a bit better.
