Can you paint/powder coat alloy rims, does it stay on?

 

I'm a powder coater and yes you can powder coat them. Its all in the prep work...as long as you get a good etch on your pretreatment and your powder is applied the right MIL thickness it asks on the company's data sheets then it should bake on properly and have good strength. More durable than painting. Tiger Drylac makes excellent powder and they have a "Super Durable" line of powder that I think is what you might be looking for. If you want more info on it then let me know...

 

thanks for the info. what is the cost to pc a rim? do most body shops do this kind of work?

 

not body shops....look up powder coating in the yellow pages near you and it should have some shops listed that only do powder coating and possibly sandblasting too.
