Clear powder coat vs traditional clear coat

Pretty cool - It`s always nice to see/hear when everything goes according to plan. I have never used Opti-coat but I am sure it helped prevent quite a bit of dirt and brake dust from sticking onto the wheel in the first place

Now I see your reasoning for when you told me to mount them first. I just thought that it would be easier to handle them before they were mounted. Thankfully I have not noticed any damages along the rim or coating.



Typically how many coats would you apply to a brand new set of wheels? How long would you allow each coat to cure?



I`m looking forward to doing this on my paint soon.



Thanks,

Hey, lucky you! Seems like even the best guys who do mine are awfully, uhm....heavy handed about it

I only used the older version that didn`t layer. If I had the new stuff I`d do two coats about a week or two apart.

I`m still not ready to do that, but that`s just me.
