Hey guys, I am going to powdercoat my ap1 wheels a glossy black leaving the center cap silver. What is the best way to prep the wheels for the powdercoating process. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

 

chemical strip em

 

or media blast. won't the PC shop prep them for you

 

i was wondering if anyone has pics of this done to their car in white with the center caps left silver as well.

 

haha I wish, its cheaper if I prep them.

 

I would just let the powdercoat shop sandblast them. How much cheaper is it?
BTW, get your centercaps painted to match the wheels. It just doesn't look right otherwise.

 

I am unsure of what the best way to prep for powdercoat is, but I have a couple pics that will give you an idea of what they will look like.

Mine are painted, but it gives you a general idea.

 

Nice i like the unpainted center caps.... I want to do that on my yellow S.

 

take really rough sand paper and sand them, then primer.

there are pics on the alabama chat board. Rollins and N30 both have this done. theres a introduction thread and N30's car is on the last page.

btw, this looks really amazing. i wanna powder coat my AP2 wheels.

 

Im powder coating them myself this weekend
