I wanna repaint my wheels but am unsure as to whether my wheels are powder coated or painted. Is there any way to tell? If it is powder coat how do i remove it...can i just scuff it and paint over it?
Also what paint should i use, I was contemplating using the ceramic engine coating over the dupli-color wheel paint? Any suggestions? This post has been edited by Davesceli: Sep 1, 2009 - 1:42 AM |

I'm doing mine right now. But I have 2-piece BBS wheels.
1st i removed the face of the wheels (spokes/center) from the barrel of the wheel, by unscrewing all my bolts (~20 some of them) once removed i sandblasted the centers front and back, then did some 400 grit sanding work pretty quick. then primer, paint, wet sand, clear, wet sand, polish, wax |
