All 5 rims will be acid dipped then media blasted if necessary to remove all traces of oil grease and penetrating fluid first. Definitely will be Forest Green in color.
Just a thought but isn't powder coat after applied thicker than paint and will make it difficult for the clamp ring to seat properly. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,262 | 50%/50% opinions:
- epoxy prime and urethane top coat
- powder coat (my powder-coater puts on a "primer" coat and then a finish coat)
Mine are powder-coated semi-gloss black wheel-pieces and cadmium-silver lock-ring (2-ton GMC 20" 3-piece wheels) | | | | | Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 252 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2010 Posts: 252 | I had mine powder coated semi-gloss black and they have stood up very well with no apparent scratches or dings. | | |
