Well I am gong to be getting my wheels refinished this week but have some questions
they are the DSI style of a 1995 BMW M3, from what the previous owner told me that have about 100k on them
they have nicks,dings,scratches,some curb rash, and coating failure but with some TLC they should look really good
I am going to be getting them powdercoated with as close as I can get to the OE color
I am going to be dropping them off at the shop tomorrow
this is the shop I am going to be using
the shop said they will be using one color and one clean coat
Here is a picture of the wheels
I have some questions related to powdercoating I was hoping MOL members could help me with
Does powdercoating need to "offgas"?
How long do I need to do I need to wait before I mount tires?
How long do I need to wait before I can prep and seal the wheels?
^^ Time is not really an issue because I have another set of wheels and tires but I know I will get anxious
I also need to order a minimum of two tires but Im thinking I should just buck up and get 4
I was thinking for the prep, I would clay them with Meguiar's blue clay with Last Touch 1:1, then Ultimate Polish
but then here is where I am not sure, what wax/sealant should I use?
Which Meguiar's product would be suggested?
I am kinda interested in this product...
I am doing this because I want them to look good and make future cleanups easier
Thank you for your help and suggestions
