Powder coating your rims would work fine. The DIDs are extruded aluminum that were clear anodized, powder coating would be just as durable if not more so. I would clean the rims thoroughly and check them for cracks at the welds then wet sand the scratches and gouges. Finish them off with a media blasting using aluminum oxide to give the powder a good surface to adhere to. If you want a straight gold finish, you can coat them, cook them and go. If you are looking for a gold anodized finish, you will need to do a base coat top coat process. Either way, they should look great. dogger |
