grab a can or can's of Plastidip and spray away, if you don't like it peel it off and redo it, if it chips spray over the chip....Easy and Cheap
or do you want a permanent paint job or powdercoat and have it look proper
?

For longevity and durability i would recommend powdercoating. The thing with aeropaints and others comparef to powder is that they chip easily. The spokes on the wheels take the most beating from road debris.
I just had a bunch of parts powdercoated. I can refer you to them if you are interested.

The thing with powder coating is that if its not heat treated properly, it warps ruining the structural integrity of the rims. I agree with the plasti-dip solution, looks good on rims but never seen it done on fairings. I'm not a fan of the matte look but I've seen the enhancer make rims metallic so it might look good.
Powdercoat ovens only go up to something like 400F - hardly enough to warp or compromise the integrity of the metal.

Even if I used my oven in my house, it's still only set to 400 for 10 minutes....
if temps beyond that are used then yes you can start to affect the integrity of the part......but they would have to be very high, but the you will be ruining the powder coat anyways....
so I don't get what your trying tell us....

No but it means if they do this for a living they should probably know how to follow manufacturer recommendations on curing time and temperature.

Don't drop them.
You might break the paint :lmao:
I have heard johnnyp does great work.
If I was in the west end I would have taken my rims there, but ended up using http://www.flashfirecoatings.com
I have one set getting done right now, I will report back next week on how they turn out

An oven is an oven. 400* is 400*. Unless you turn the oven up to 600*, or leave the part in there too long, the type of oven doesn't matter. I did industrial powder coating for several years when I was young. Once you learn how, it's pretty hard to $&@! Up. Doesn't take skill like actually painting body parts does.
