OliverTwisted Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 Has anyone had any success painting over, or powder coating over, the factory wheels without first stripping them. I want to change the color of the wheels on my 07. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vfrrider Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I think the factory coat is a powder coat, and you may HAVE to strip them to assure a good coverage. Larry VFRrider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry VFRrider Factory wheels are painted. If you want to paint your wheels, you'll need to scuff/sand them at minimum so the new paint can stick. In order to powdercoat, you definitely need to strip them entirely because the paint will burn off under the powder and ruin it in the oven!

The Phantom Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 The Honda paint is so tough that I reckon painting over it would have no problems at all - use two-pack so you get a good tough finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer gmtech94 Posted December 20, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2009 I have painted a few sets and just sand and paint,usually use a real good 2 part primer and this has kept stone chips etc to a minimum . Take your time and have some fun . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
