Re: wheel color

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxx>]

Powder coating is a very hard, durable coating. One of it's
limitations is repair and recoating. Since it is so hard to do a spot
repair it is recomended that you strip the part (which is harder to do
than epoxy coatings!) and repaint. Powder coating has been "perfected"
since the 70's. The main thrust of development now is lower
temperature curable coatings. In the beginning you had to heat the
part to over 450 degrees F. This prevented powder coating many types
of parts. Eastwood has a whole line of powder coating equipment and
colors to choose from but if you are not going to do a lot then it
makes sense to send the parts out and have them done profesionally.
