can mag wheels be powdercoated ?
Have a mate with a 340r - which comes with technomagnesium wheels. He'd like them powdercoated, but I reckon heating magnesium enough for the powder to melt would be a Bad Idea (tm)
Can it be done ? If so who ?
thanks
Steve

Powdercoating is done with an oven temperature of 160 to 210degC. Melting point of magnesium is 648.8 degC. Good old google......
Fair margin of error between those two. So small risk of a problem I'd have thought.
