Hi,

Pro:
The color is great!

Con:
The job quality is very poor to my point of view.
Powdered alloys are not suppose to look as leper skin.
Probably a bad primer job (sanding, degreasing,...)

Sorry for you,
Busa

Yeah this isnt a finished wheel. Wasnt really prepped at all. It was just to test the colour. This wheel is now stripped again. Ready for primer

Painted wheels are far better. The finish it totally different and more colours to choose from.

Is it not true that the process of baking the powder can significantly weaken the Wheel?
