Rattle can-it..?
Anyone please help I googled so many places and believe it or not some auto body shops put me on hold while they asked someone else in the shop what powder coating was and if they did it! Come on now. I would love to just stop being cheap and actually buy a real set of rims but I still haven't found a set I like enough to drop 1k+ into. I love the stock ones I just want a new finish!
Yeah but your not just rattle canning the rims. Your powder coating them as you follow the steps.
-(Spray can is just going over the rims with a spray can)
"What this is is different, You're actually powder coating the rims Follow these steps" below :
Here are the steps
-sand rim starting with 220 and work your way to 400
-clean rim of all dust and other impurities with a tack cloth
-spray first coat of primer lightly
- spray 2-3 more increasingly heavier coats of primer
- let the primer dry and sand smooth if needed
-clean rim again with tack cloth
-spray your first coat of color lightly
-spray the next 3-4 coats of color increasingly heavier until the rim is coated and the color is at least 2 fully covered coats thick
-next spray the clear after waiting for the color to dry for not longer then 1 hour so it still has some of the tack from the color to grab but the color has flashed off enough to not leave haze in the clear
- let the rim dry fully, I left mine to cure for 2 weeks before mounting back on my car.
