Powder Coating

Recommended Posts

john-melbourne

Hi Guys,

 

My local powder coaters will shot blast and powder coat my speedline for £15 per corner, which i think i will get done but what colour would look best on a white 205?

 

Any pictures would be good!

Whatever you do, don't go for white! Unless it matches the shade of the car exactly, it looks totally cack!

I agree probably safest with silver.

 

Whatever colour you go for get a top notch tyre fitter to put your tyres back on - The powder coating on my wheels corroded off in no time in two of the wheels the tyre fitter was careless on and let the application tool score the edge of the rim.

 

I would probably stick with hot soapy water to wash them too as I don't think powder coating likes the normal acidic wheel cleaning chemicals too much either.

 

£15 a wheel is certainly not a bad price though I don't think as long as you have seen some of their previous work & it looks good......

I'm quite a fan of black wheels on a white 205, and may go that way myself.
