Hey 240 Gen.... I got something for you.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Nico now has an official powder coating specialist. (powder, ceramic, and more).

I send all of my coating work to this shop, and the work is awesome, and the prices are even better.

Check them out in the market place zerothread?id=452704

[simmode1]

Sweet sweet baby Jesus... I think I want more pics of the Prismatic Gold...

I nominate OutToWinPAHC for rookie Mod of the year...

[sil80_chris]

i don't mean to pry but what happened to the old official powder coater? I think his name was The Chosen One...

[MRNA]

Ummm...

[OutToWinPAHC]

Can't say, I don't know what happened, but Liquid has taken their place.....

Now send them your parts and follow up with the finished photos.

i thought that powered coating wheels was bad for the wheels (more information on this will be great)

[zenki-S13]

i want those pink coils

iirc it depends on the wheel and how its made

[OutToWinPAHC]

I would ask him, hes been doing it more then 20 years. I would think it depends on the wheel material its self.

But he sponsors Reese Martin, and does all his wheels on his drift car. Non stop abuse and tire changes and those wheels still look awesome.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Make sure you check him out in the market place.... He just posted these up.

dam that is COOL .....but do you think power coating a set of 5zigen fn01r-c are they safe to power coat and they are daily and weekend drifter wheels

[killernoodle]

Yes its safe.

Aluminum melts at 1200F, I don't think a 400 degree oven would ever mess them up.

[sr20power]

Thank you for the heads up, I was just thinking about powder coating my wheels. But heard that it was not safe to powder coat wheels.

I have Works XD-9's....would they be safe to powder coat?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

He flaked out and kept some people's parts and money, then did a s***ty job when he finally finished some of the work. There is a thread about it named "Where the hell is the chosen one?" or something along those lines.

[sloweighty]

Yes its safe.

i know my wheels are aluminum but do you know if they are 100% aluminum cause if they are then i will be powered coating them next week

[JoseBronx]

Ummm...

[OutToWinPAHC]

i know my wheels are aluminum but do you know if they are 100% aluminum cause if they are then i will be powered coating them next week

What else do you think they are? Steel, if so you have no issues at all.

sorry for so much question but i just have to know.........do you have any other source of this theory?

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Sit down cos I'm about to drop some engineering on your a**. Here are a bunch of phase diagrams for Al alloys:



At 204 degrees celcius (400 F), you are no where near any phase change for ANY of the alloys. Some don't even represent it on the chart.

If you are really worried, send the guy an email and ask him.

[OutToWinPAHC]

Yeah considering hes been coating 20+ years, and has done 100's of sets of wheels.

That and it may be a shock to some, but wheels are coated almost all the time. Even factory OE wheels are coated and cleared and finished in an oven.

highly doubt ur rims are 100% aluminum. ur rims wont be hurt in the slightest way.
