All you powdercoaters... a warning.
Powdercoating is THICK. If you're sending a pile of parts out for some nice coating or getting a nice set of wheels refinished, you need to be careful of the various areas that have tight tolerances. For example, a lot of factory wheels (especially late model 911 wheels) have a hubcentric ring that centers the wheel. If this area get powdercoated it will not fit on hubcentric hubs. Seen it happen. Anyway, avoid a hassle, identify areas to not be powdercoated before handing your stuff over. Coating shops won't know what's what. Can you tell I ran into this issue today....
