We had wanted to coat our 20" wheels, but decided against it. The problem with ours was that we couldnt get the rims clean enough to do it. Rims with a rivited center plate are very hard to blast clean, you always end up with little places were the outer part and the inner part meet,that you cant get to. If you end up with a bad spot, the coating will just release from the metal over a period of time. Another problem is with the lock rings. You can only have so much of a build up on these parts or they wont assemble properly. One more place to watch is the center hole. As most of these trucks use the hub to center the wheel, excess material will just be scraped off when installing the rim. This will sometimes bare the metal and rust will form and then work under the coating. We decided to have the rims painted with paint used on tractors. Its a lot tuffer than car paint, is single stage and easy to touch up if you damage it. We have coated many other parts of the truck, and havent had any trouble with fading. One thing to remember is that it will only look as good coated as it did bare. If your metal looks like a golf balls surface before, it still will after, just a differnt colored one. You cant fill it in with body putty, as most ovens will cook the putty off the metal. Try to find a coater that use these steps, 1) cleans the parts with a degreaser. 2) heats the parts up before coating them. You will find that it makes them a lot better in the end.
