Need a stitch of info on split rim powder coating

[scottie123]

Just wondering if some one would be able to confirm if when a split rim is powder coated ,
is it necessary to mask off the mating faces, or is it ok to have them coated also?

I believe it is the first, but just wanted confirmation

Thanks in advance

Mask them off otherwise the wheel will get out of balance...

 

[FranA3]

yeah i would mask them off scott as the last post they might go out of balance

 

[scottie123]

That is exactly why I was thinking the 1st one also

Thanks for ya swiftness

 

[FranA3]

no problemo scott hows things dude all gravy i hope

 

[scottie123]

Yeah good thanks Fran. You too I hope

Would be even better if I didnt have to spend my next weeks worth of evenings sanding back powder coat that the painters 'forgot' to mask

yeah im good thanks matey , you all settled into your new gaff now ? , ah man thats no good but it saves the chance of it being out of balance eh

 

[scottie123]

yeah pretty settled now Its lovely to have room for us all now.

I was secretly hoping someone would say they would be fine, and save me the sanding job.

I really really really really really really really really hate sanding!!!

Erm You paint/powdercoat the lot then bolt them together or else they will rot fast .They will not go out of balance there painted all over from the factory .They will need balancing after in any case
