you need to have an electric oven to dedicate to powdercoating.

If your powder coating rims. Do not use a kit like this unless you have a sand blaster and a power washer. It works good for small parts that can be sanded and washed by hand but if you do your rims it's gunna flake off and look like ass in 6 months .


The formula will not bond to the metals that have not been sand blasted and cleaned.

Do a google search for local powder coating shops in your area. I have a shop close to me that will Sand blast clean polish and powder coat any rim any color for 75$ a rim with a warranty.

You are going to spend a lot more to DIY and not get the results you're after.

i found that the best substrate to use for soft materials is the ground walnut shells. it is hard enough to clean the surface, but will not pit or damage the metal or plastic underneath
