Clear Powder Painting Polished Alumuinum
Does anyone have expierence with having polished aluminum wheels powder painted clear? I have a set of Halibrands coming and am considering having them powdered clear. I have talked to only one powder painter so far and he told me it can't be done because of contaminents left from polishing. Not sure I believe this.
Thanks

Billet Specialties is doing that now. I buddy of mine used to own a powder coating co. I asked him about doing that to a set of heads and block, he didn't recomend it do to chipping from rocks and causing a corrsion spot. I can understand that.

If you can figure out a way to get all the residue from the polishing off the wheel without losing the shiny before you powder coat, shouldn't be a problem.... Probably a good detergent and a lot of scrubbing should do it....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
