Sorry to hi-jack but can you get plastic powder coated? i.e black arches
no.. they'll melt in the oven when baked.
i got my 5 slabs done for 38 quid a rim and that a refurb too
they wont even make it to the oven since they arent metal, powder coating is an electrostatic coating

because PC looks alot better. more even finish and a better, more solid look and feel to it.
Those of us that can drive dont curb wheels, and avoid curbs more so than oncoming vehicles. My local asda has very few curbs to hit, and bollards are the main obstruction, but if you hit one of those you need special help.

I understand we as car enthusiasts avoid curbs but I still dont see the point in it. Why dont they do it in the factory?
If the finish is so amazing, why dont they do body panels with it?

i can get my 14's re-furbed any colour for £25 a wheel, and they re-balance them, then an extra £5 for each size bigger. pretty good i think
