Painting on Powdercoat
Good afternoon enlightened beings!
I've just sent off a set of Alley Cat wheels for refurbishment. I've decided to do them in white with a red centre.
They're currently being powdercoated white, then I will mask them up and hand-paint the centers.
Is there a 'way' to apply paint to a powdercoated finish, and if so, how is it done?
Also, what type of paint should be used? I was thinking of an enamel and then placing them in front of a heater till they dry.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You need to get a clean rag and wipe down the powder coat with cellulose thinners, this will soften it up and the paint will stick to it like the ****

wipe down with thinners defo, but i would then take the time and effort to properly mask of the areas you want to keep white and give it a spray with
an aerosol from halfrauds

Cheers guys!
So aerosol rather than brush... and I take it that I allow the thinners to dry on the surface before painting???

thinners will dry pretty quick. by the time you have shaken your can, they'll be ready for paint
