68 z28 ralley wheels powder coat or paint gun

[Nova Research Project]

One thing I observed on power coated frames is that the power does not seep into the overlaps in the metal. Water will seep in and allow rust to seep out.

IMO powder coat is for non assembled clean steel. Not assembles where metal is lapped and welded like wheels and frames.

I did have two sets of steelies powder coated black along with a frame, but the wheels have not seen any weather yet. The frame does see weather as it is on a driver and rust appeared at the laps rather quickly.
