of course, a powdercoater is going to fully strip the wheels finish before they coat, so trying it on your own first will only cost you the time and materials since you can just bring it to the powdercoater if you aren't happy with the finish.

hey caravanshaka correct me if im wrong but i believe powdercoating weakens forged rims.....becauase of the extreme heat that occurs...? and there is a special type of powdercoating that is for forged rims...? and... sadly no one can do powdercoating on my island in that matter.... just regular powdercoating...
