Powder Coating suggestions...?
 
I delivered my wheels to a powder coater. He just called and stated that he could not do the wheels... Stating they were too soft of an alloy or aluminum or whatever for him to sandblast and coat.

Any suggestions? What have you guys done or experienced in this area?

I've NEVER heard that excuse for wheels.

out of curiousity, which wheels did you drop off? base or sport?

if they're too soft for him to sandblast and coat, i'd be scared shitless to be driving around on them. go find yourself another powder coater.

He just doesn't want the work is more likely. I hate doing wheels myself, as they can take up two full days of production in a small shop, and actually cost money due to other lost revenue opportunities.
