Hi guys,

could anyone tell me if they know if my inovit wheels would be suitable for being powder coated..

they have a chrome lip so i'm not too sure if it would work well.

See my profile for pics
<-<-<-<--------------

 

the chrome lip would simply be masked of with alluminium tape or similar for blasting/prep then powder coat applied.

The only thing is they will need to laquer/clear coat the whole wheel to prevent the edge of the powder coat peeling where it meets the chrome rim.

hope that makes sense and is of some help mate

 

As above - I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be suitable. I'm off to collect a set of wheels that i've had powder coated in about an hour, hoping they're going to look perfect

 

cheers man, you'll have to post some before and after pics mate

 

i was hoping to get the lips done aswell mate, try and get them to be all the same colour...would that work?

 

I'm in the same boat, have wheels with chrome lip but looking to powder coat the whole rim in a gloss or matt black finish.

Any joy with your rims getting powder coated AsianGunner?

 

how much did the 4 cost? any pics?

 

Place near me does them for £50-60 per wheel, dependant on color. Flip paint would obviously be more.

 

LSN coatings is Castleford did 4 x 17" STI alloys for £100, for any colour he has in stock..

Check out thewheelspecialist.co.uk

They offer a drive in drive out service and did a cracking job on my previous Rota's.

Also if you let them know you belong to a car forum/club you shouldl be able to negioate a big discount.

 

I had my Inovites done.... originally they were a diamond cut finish with black inners but had started to corrode under the lacquer....

....they came out lovely
