Default Wheel Colors-Powder Coat etc

Hi all,

As mentioned in a few other posts, I want to powder coat my stock fat bob wheels. I was considering a red outer (lip, dish, etc) and black for the circular center. I know JRK5892 mentioned he has done this powder coat combo before (any pics Joe?). I was wondering if any of you guys had done this type of work and had pictures to share. I do want to stay with the stock cast aluminum, and not get spokes.

So show me your powder coated wheel pics!

Thanks in advance!

This is very nice! How did you do it? The different between the spoke section and the rim section (If I'm saying that correctly) is so clean!

I wish I could take the credit, but that was done by Southeast Custom Cycles in Concord, NC, where I bought the bike. I'm sure they could give you more details. The owner (Terry) is a member of this forum. That said, I don't think it's that difficult. I have a sidecar being delivered soon, and I ordered it with the stock HD wheel to match, and I plan to have it powder coated and buffed (probably do the buffing myself) to match. Happy to follow up as that is done.

There's powder coat shops all over the place, of course. I would seriously consider sending stuff out to thepowderpro, and may contact him about my wheel and some other stuff. I had my headlight powder coated locally, and it came out ok, but not great.

the stock fatbob wheels look great with the center done in gloss black and the outer rim left alone.
