Question, my current wheels are already powder-coated. Is it safe to powder-coat them again? I am planning on going a different color this time. I might have two sets of wheels soon so I might want to mess with my current set. I am just not sure if it will be safe since they will go thru the process of heating and cooling again.
You have to chemically strip powdercoating to repowdercoat another color. You can go over the top but it will not be anywhere near as durable IME. PC'ing, if done wrong, is as bad as a crappy paint job. It will chip and scratch. When done correctly, it is one of the most durable coatings available.
I have an IP coupe and was thinking about power coating the wheels gold or bronze. How do y'all think that would look, and has anyone done that before?
is it difficult to take the TPMS off? The reason I bring this older post on this because I just got a friend that will do it in his shop for $200 for all 4 wheels but I have to remove the tires myself. They will sandblast the original finish and repair any curve damage. My concern is the TMPS sensor, and If I do remove them do I have to reprogram them?
