EP70-PT Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Left my rims to the powdercoater today, they didn't have gold on their paint catalogue so I just told them to microblast them (they specialize in wheels) I'll paint them myself I think... what should I do first since they'll be in bare aluminium?

Bug679 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I'd stick a good coat or two of etch primer on them then sand till smooth , paint , lacquer. Job done 👍🏻Etch primer is better for aluminium as its acid based Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MARC MOSS Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Taking gold from paint swatches isn't a good idea though it never looks the same Quote Link to post Share on other sites
