alan bechard Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Hey Marky, or really anyone that has actually done it, did you pull the spokes from the wheels when you powdercoated them, or leave them "built". If you left them built, how did you protect the spokes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marky boy Posted November 25, 2003 Report Share Posted November 25, 2003 Stripped em down Al , as i did the hubs a different colour , you could mask them off but it would take you longer to mask and then remove(which can be a b****d when ovened ) than it would to strip and then rebuild your rim. The last time i did mine i removed all the nipples and the pulled the hub complete with spokes still in place out. Coated the rim and then CAREFULLY re-inserted the whole lot back into postion. This is awkward but caves on time rebuilding. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan bechard Posted November 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2003 Thanks, that was what I was figuring, but it never hurts to ask. I have a pretty good deal going with a powdercoater just down the road from me (1/4 mile) where I am building him his racks and such that he needs, and he is paying materials, then we will trade out some powdercoating as I need it.
