I got my rpf1's powder coated satin black. Well I got them back and I am not happy with how they came out. They wheels are perfect besides where the lug holes are. There are some visible high spots there. Well the guy who did them said the reason is because powder doesnt like sharp edges and it pulls back creating those high spots. He said I would have to dremel the lug holes and roll the edges to avoid those high spots. He also said there is no way to actually fix it without stripping and doing the wheel over. And I still have the possibility of having the same thing happen unless I roll the edges.

I asked if he can lightly sand it down and just spray the face of the lug holes but he said it possible it wont look good and also make the lug holes look dry. He said he can lightly sand it down and buff it but then it would turn shiny instead of satin. I rather not have him do another coat on top because it would add more weight to the wheels.

What I want to know is if this guy is telling me the truth about powder pulling back from sharp edges. Also if these wheels can get powder coated without getting high spots?

 

i have heard that it does that befor......honestly....leave them alone....they look fine....i would have never noticed had you not said anything....and im a perfectionist

 

I don't see anything wrong in that picture. It's not that serious and people aren't going to be analyzing your wheels that close.

 

Moar Pics Nao!
