Re: Has anyone had their wheels painted or powder coated with a High visibility color
I know that you could go anodized or powedered..I like powder, don't belive the hype about hard to keep clean
The key with powder is wipe WHILE DRY then it's all good...
Cant wait to see what you do, Im kinda thinking that way myself....

Seems high to me, there is a local shop that does a real nice job on wheels for about $40-$50 a wheel. Although, you are in CA and everything is overpriced out there.

Agreed. I do work in a fab shop, and a company we work with repairs commercial vehicles, they do coke trucks red wheels. They will do them for free but is there different qualities of powdercoat?

I had the wheels on both my bike and my wife's bike powder coated in gloss black, came out very nice. Also had one of my buddies bikes done an 'electric blue' that came out very nice. Will post pics when I return from this business trip...

This is moments after my wheels were painted a 50/50 mix of House of Kolors Florescent Hot Pink and Florescent Red .
It's fun while it lasts , but UV sensitive ... starts fading in a few months of limited exposure .

We always paint rims with (preferably new) tires on .
That way , by the time you change tires again , the paint is FULLY cured .
I change my own tires , and well cured paint holds up perfectly well to tire changes . I use plastic from anti-freeze jugs cut into large pieces as rim protectors . Works marvelously .

That day glo paint over a white base is about as bright as you can get. You will be seen from a great distance with just a little bit of light reflecting off the painted surface (street lights / headlights)...if that is what you are after.
