ok so i got a question...is it possible to powdercoat only some areas of a wheel and leave some areas polished? will the heat from baking mess up the polished finished?

Yes you can, make sure the shop you take it to will do it though. If it's polished, don't worry about it. I'd ask your shop first if it were chromed.

Yes it can be done.

The areas not to be powdercoated will have to be masked off, I'm sure they use a special masking that can take the baking process.

I have a powdercoating system from Eastwood and an old stove to bake in, so the parts have to be able to fit in the stove. I've done most of the front suspension for my '55 Chevy Pickup

Thanks Physh1 i'll have to check into that.

that home powdercoating system does a nice job

Just make sure the oven you use isn't the home one...lol. The powercoating system needs a dedicated oven...no food cooking afterwards.
