Examples of powder coating
Discussion
Controversial topic.
Some sources say that the process to strip the existing finish and powder coat involves excessive heat and will potentially weaken the alloy / create micro fractures. Apparently Enkei (well known wheel manufacturer) has stated in the past that they will void the wheel warranty if you powder coat their products.
Others will say, no issues if done properly.
I decided not to take any chances when I refinished the HRE's on my Vantage, particularly as I track the car on occasion. I had the wheels repainted by a good local shop, instead. I am very happy with the quality and durability of the paint 4 years later.
