My oven is 23"x16"x13" if I remember correctly, so anything that can fit in there. I have red and translucent red (looks like anodized red). How about $25? I will be home this weekend and able to do it on Sunday or possibly Saturday.

Oh and another thing. What kind of paint is on it now? If it is already powdercoated it is going to be a bitch to get that off without sandblasting it, but if it is just painted it should come off with some sandpaper and chemicals.

It's just rattle can paint. The measurements are.....15 x 15 x 2. I'll see if I can hook up with you this weekend. And I'd want the translucent red.

Is it possible to powercoat rims like these?
The outer lip is polished, but I'd like to see about powdercoating the spokes a darker shade of grey. Been meaning to ask if you can mask these off, but if you're in the profession ... I wasn't sure it's an all or nothing process.
Thanks.

I can only do small things, wheels 15" and smaller. There is a place up in Marysville I think, Craig Craft which does powdercoating of stuff like that. My friend got his 17" Porsche wheels powdercoated black from there and they did a very good job. He did not get his lips polished even though I told him he would regret it, so I am not even sure if they do that there, but I would think they do.
