Picking up my Pedrini wheels tomorrow from the machine shop. Thinking about powder coating. One shop says run away. Not for aluminum wheels. Another said they have to be "pre-heated" and then powder coat. That costs more due to more oven time???
Has anyone here coated these wheels? Any issues? Is it a Yes or a No? Is it worth coating over painting? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Thanks guys. |

You can do a lot for the looks with painting Pedrini's.
