There are two approaches to powder coating spoked or laced rims on cars, motorcycles, and bikes.

One, leave them in place and powder coat over them.

Or two, remove and powder coat separately.

Making the best decision

If you’ve got dirt bike rims, spoke rims on bikes and motorcycles or cars that you’re looking to get powder coated, the question you need to ask is:

To take apart or… to not take apart?

Aside from the cost in additional labor using the second approach, powder coating them in place means that in the long term they cannot be taken apart. They will be entirely coated and non-removable.

That’s great for maintenance, however, if you’re wanting the full and complete restoration to spoked rims consider the longevity of the project at hand. You will need to how long are you keeping it or what level of restoration are you wanting to achieve with these spoked rims.

Simple care instructions after your rims and metal parts come back from powder coating.

Use these basic steps to care for your rims after they have been powder coated.

You’ve just picked up your parts from the powder coater and put your bike or car together for a sweet ride this weekend but forgot to ask this important question from your custom coater.

How do you maintain your powder coated metal?

There are several ways to protect your powder coated project especially from the elements over time.

First off, some info on the powders themselves. Powder coating powders come in all ratings and types like TGIC, polyurethanes, polyesters, and hybrids.

There are many colors and styles including smooth, textured, hammer-tone, metallic, translucent & illusion. Learn more on the different powder colors and their specific applications.

The care and maintenance of powder coating should be very little especially if it was done by quality custom coater.

However, if that leaves you feeling a little unsettled this list of safe cleaning products will make you feel better about the care and maintenance of your metal project.

1. 1. 1. General Clean– use mild soap and water, preferably phosphate free.
    2. Deep Clean– use Simple Green or orange based cleaner that is diluted according to label instructions
    3. Protect Daily– use an emollient like WD-40 to protect it from grime or dirt build up in between cleanings
    4. Lasting Finish– use an automotive spray-on sealer for waterproofing

The process of powder coating

September 25, 2017 by pcnearme

How powder coating works

The basic process of powder coating is straightforward. Here’s a step-by-step guide to powder coating and protecting metal.

1.Blast It – Sandblasting is the best way to prep a metal surface in need of restoration. It removes dirt, grime, rust, corrosion. It also removes existing painted or powder coated finishes. All types of metal can be blasted such as alloys, aluminum, steel, iron, etc. Sometimes coaters will use a chemical strip process prior to abrasive blasting to keep the blast time down to a minimum. If you have a new metal project you can sometimes by-pass this step. Your powder coater will be able to make this determination. The point of blasting is to remove any mil-scale rust and rough up the surface prior to coating.

2.Prep It – Prepping consists of applying a metal prep chemical solution to neutralize surface impurities, cleaning off any lingering debris and prevent rust and corrosion. Depending on the type of metal there are several kinds of solutions your powder coater can use to enhance the surface before coating. If this is a concern for you make sure to ask your powder coater about what they will be using; this is a step that should not be missed.[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”MPW Blog Form Mobile” _builder_version=”3.29.3″ global_module=”12659″ saved_tabs=”all”]

The coating itself is done through an electrolysis process, whereby, the metal object is positively charged in order for the powder to be attracted to it and bond well during the next stage. There are many colors and brands of powder to choose from depending on the needs of the customer and the end use of the project. There are outdoor rated and interior only rated colors and powders. Some powders require clear coats which could add to an increase in costs. Here’s more on powder types with this post. Be sure to ask your coater which is best for your project.

4.Cure It – The cure times for metal can range depending on how long it takes the oven to get to temp and the size of the oven. Typically degrees ranging from 250(low cure) to 400 are required for the powder to heat up enough to bond. Once the right temp is achieved it takes 15-30 minutes for your metal part to achieve this state. A coater’s oven should evenly displace the heat so that your part is heated throughout for the curing process to be done correctly.

THE BEST WAY TO DEGREASE RIMS BEFORE POWDER COATING

How to de-grease your rims or metal wheel project before powder coating

It’s essential to prep metal rims or wheel project before powder coating. Removal of excess grease and dirt is not always expected but is a courtesy to your local custom coater. Failure to meet minimum prep may give the powder coater reason to charge you extra. Be wary of harsh solvents like acetone, thinners and chemical strippers. They can be too much for existing painted finishes and really messy to handle. We recommend Castrol Super Clean. It is premier product but any detergent based cleaners like simple green will do fine with a little more scrubbing.

Powder coating your rims is a great way to update a truck, car or motorcycle.

Generally, custom coaters can offer services dismount and pre-prep services like de-greasing but it is always good to ask beforehand.

Some will either charge separately or include it in there pricing.

If your coater doesn’t provide these services you will need to do the following prep before bringing your project in.

Dismount the tires from all rims. DIY-ers usually have the know-how to do this but you can always drop by your local tire shop to get them dismounted. If you go this route, consider timing it with the replacement of your tires to save money on dismounting.
All TPMS sensors and weights need to be removed.
Remove the stems.
If bearings are present they will have to be removed.
Remove any excess grease and dirt; bring in a clean condition.

Powder for metal coatings comes in many different colors, textures, and looks. They are essentially liquid coating in a powdered form. Powders are made from mostly polyester and urethanes which give them their durability and UV resistance from fading, however, there are epoxies and hybrids as well. Most are just a single-stage application. Some are two-stage or colors that require a clear coat.

Depending on the condition of your project it’s important to know which powder will work best for you. Watch this video playlist to learn it all in just a few minutes!
