zniper Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Hi what do you recon will be the best for getting my rims and hub a different color? they both cost between 400 and 500
quintonb Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Powder coating you dont really have to worry about the surface finish of the rim and hub, whereas anodizing it basically colours the existing surface. So if its not smooth and shiny it will keep the same finish.If its nicely polished then you will get a much better quality looking finish. Guess it depends on what you really wanting and how hard wearing it needs to be.
muviman Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 powder coating on the rims tend to chip off with small stones hitting it as you ride. I had it done on my offroad motorbike... I would rather anodize it.
RockCoach Posted January 31, 2014 Posted January 31, 2014 Also anodizing is a much much thinner coating so much lighter in comparison.
Master-Yoda Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Can anyone recommend a company to anodize rims and hubs?
nolipoli Posted August 6, 2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Anodizing requires a nice smooth raw Aluminium finish. You will get the best results if you hand polish them first.

Powedercoat + Vinyl VSAnodise + Vinylhttp://www.fnordu.com/public/images/comingsoon.png LOL. Remember your ORIGINAL sukuma "re-do"? Yeah. THAT one. But as for the current sukuma job - very good, but the colour combo (those blues with the orange) just don't do it for me. Maybe if it was a single blue, or a slighly different shade of orange, it would. But it just (for some reason) elicits a "meh" from me. Maybe it's the whole bike, when built, that makes me think of it like that, but yeah. I'm pretty sure that with the right colours on the full bike, it'd look pimp. Sorry dude.... I wish I could say otherwise, but... yeah. http://i.imgur.com/eB7rkAM.png Edited October 9, 2015 by Myles Mayhew
