Hi Gar,

On your wheels... I agree with you that powder coating is an expensive option. I DO think however, that a lot would be gained by getting your rims sandblasted. Carefully applied rattle can paint can look pretty darn good when it is properly sprayed, but there is no metal surface on this planet that takes paint better than fresh sandblasted steel. I'd get them sandblasted, get at least one (preferably two) coats of a good primer on them, with a light sand in between coats and then go for your enamel colour. By the time you install trim rings and hubcaps, no-one will know they didn't come straight from the powder- coater!! LOL Chris
