All this talk about powder coating the wheels got me thinking (which can be
a dangerous thing!) I was contemplating powder coating my Panasports,
because after many, many years of everyday use, well, they are becoming a
bit tired. I would want to finish them the same way they are now that is
gold except for the outer rim which is left polished. Now I can manage to
mask the outer portion well enough but I also want the entire wheel to be
clear coated to protect the polished portion. Can this be done? Does one
apply the gold first, cure then apply the clear? Wouldn't the application
of the clear and subsequent re-curing cause the clear and gold to run
together? I guess my question would be How exactly would this be achieved?
I would rather find out BEFORE I ruin a perfectly good wheel :-)
Anybody been there done that??
