Re: Powder coating wheels... two colors? General advice.
UrineMachine,
From the look of you wheel, it looks like the clear coat is flaking off. Have the wheels media blasted, preferably with Aluminum Oxide or Black Beauty,(coal slag). If you really have deep curb rash, take it to a good welder and have it welded. Use a die grinder and some cartridge rolls to smooth out the weld(s). If its welded and sanded right you won't be able to tell where the welds are! Polish the lip and finish the rest of the wheel as you desire! Remember when you put clear powder over your polished lip it will dull some what. Before you powder coat the rims sand out all the scratches and nicks the better you do this the better the powder coat will come out. Powder will cover some minor imperfections, but the better the rim looks the better it will coat. If you need to fill the rims other than where you are going to polish it use Arvin's Lab Metal. That stuff is hard to work but does a good job. Buy the thinner with the Lab Metal.
