i was wondering how to powdercoat/paint rims. What materials do i need and how much do you think its gonna cost.

 

get it done professionally

 

Yeah, professionally would be the way to go. Basically you can buy powder coating kits through painting companies and the such, but you would need a fairly large oven to heat everything in.

 

True, you need an electric oven which will fit the workpiece - NOT gas heated! If you're still interested you can get a kit at:

Not to contradict, but you can actually use gas powered ovens. My pops uses his powdercoating kit (from Eastwood )along with an oven that he has converted to propane gas for efficiency. Many people that do powdercoating on a larger scale use gas powered ovens as well. Just thought I'd toss that info in.

The reason Eastwood says there a bad idea is two-fold. 1, the powder is very flammable, and "B", the gas stove has much stronger air currents which can blow the powder off the part. And of course they don't want to get sued...

 

Haha thats definitely true. It works though as long as you dont just throw it in the oven
