Powdercoating
Was thinking about powdercoating rims gloss black since I am having a hard time finding aftermarket rims in gloss black that I like. But was wondering exactly how it worked. Can i pick what I want powdercoated and leave the rest chrome or does it all have to be powdercoated. Also how does it hold up.

You can tape the part that you want not black. Most of the time you have to do that yourself, most powdercoaters just want the part and go do it. As for how is works, it's a powder sprayed on the part then it gets put in a heater type thing that chemicly bonds the powder to the rim. A lot better than paint. If I left anything out someone can fill that in.

^^^^^ most of what he said is correct it is heated after its sparyed on, but there is no chemical reaction in the process, the powder is actually charged which then bonds to the electrically grounded surfaces.
