Hi there, just have powdercoated my rims..

before:



after:





and yes they are not on the bike but on the kitchen top : 9and yes the missus didnt mind as such (she wasnt there are the time ^^ )

ill upload some piccies once there on the bike. (and i have my repainted tank and sides in)

Im not the polishing kind that much so i went for the full coat. I made a custom "enclosure" out of professional plastics and steel, which held up perfectly during the glass bead blasting and backing..

Now those are purdy! B)

You bake them yourself?
If so, share the knowledge of what powder you used, oven baking temp, time in the oven etc....
