Hi Guys!
I will have my OEM alloys refurbished soon, and was wondering which method to use. I want them to be white. A collegue gave me some advice, as he is an expert in surface treatment, and we came up with 3 possibilities
- powder coating: probably the thickest solution, I would have to watch the tyre fitment, because they can slip, if the layer gets too thick, where the wheel and tyre meet
- enamel paint/lacquer, whatever it's called. Base coat, sprayed on, then baked in an oven. Thinner, than powder coating, but very hard material.
- epoxy: don't know much about this one, resin istead of paint, might be more flexible, thus durable.
If you have any experience with these, please tell me which method you would use and why.
Thanks!
