My failed attempt at powder coating

[mgfranz]

I know its digging up an old thread, but I too got the PC bug this year, and the first thing I learned is even with a thorough sand blast and cleaning, its VERY important to clean all surfaces with pure acetone, even after pre-baking, (pre-baking is not a necessary step imho). Wipe all surface twice with a lint free rag, high pressure air to get rid of any lint or dust, then apply powder or manufacture recommendations. I follow these steps and get desired results, though I haven't tried rims yet.
