I'd like to start one on a good, durable paint scheme, other than powder coating, that guys have had success with on their wheels. Epoxy? Heavy equipment paint? Regular body paint and primer? Let's hear it...

Will probably be some small changes to this page when I do. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 203 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2008 Posts: 203 | Thanks for the info, LAROKE. I think I'll give the epoxy primer and topcoat route a try.

It turned out very well and is much more hardy than regular coatings. I just stripped the old paint, cleaned, and brush painted. | | |
