powder coating

[Johnny Danger]

Not to belabor the topic, however, I've owned a few sets of wheels over the past few years ( Sportec, HRE, Champion ect...), and in each case the manufacturer recommended "paint" over powder coating in order to achieve perfect coverage and uniformity. I agree that powder coating has its virtues, however, when it comes to certain parts and objects such as wheels that have differing surfaces and sharp angles , it can be extremely difficult to get excellent coverage. Virtually every wheel set that I have seen over the years that was powder coated evidenced this problem. Specifically, signs of poor coverage in the area of the lug bolts, spokes, logos ect... In addition, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that one is limited by the choice of colors when it comes to powder coating as well. For example, black is black, red is red and so forth. I don't believe that factory paint codes, custom colors or subsequent shades thereof are available.
