Default powdercoating inside barrels of wheels?

I am getting brake pads that are very dusty. Its going to be hassle to clean the inner barrels weekly. I have a set of white regamasters that are clean. They are 9.5 out of 10.

I was thinking of just powdercoating the inner barrels of the wheels black.

I am not just powdercoating because of brake dust btw.

Good idea/bad idea? Anyone ever do this on any kind of wheel?

When I had my MR5's powder coated, they did the entire wheel, inner barrels included. I'd say go for it, mine are matte black and it's difficult to see brake dust inside the barrel.

Oh ya, I understood what you mean sorry. They would be able to powdercoat just the inner barrels if you wanted someone to do so. Just call up anyone who does powdercoating and ask them to do so.

On my personal wheels, they asked if I wanted the face/lips or the entire thing, or whatever I wanted and then they priced it accordingly.

Mine after they were finished. They just didn't do the outer barrels if that's what they are called.

yeah that matte black looks sick.

i am debating between powdercoating my regas matte black or just selling them and getting another set of wheels...

i really like regas and want them to suit me but i am not sure about powdercoating them if i could just sell and get another set. someone can enjoy a fresh set of white regas
