quintonb Posted January 31, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muviman Posted January 31, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockCoach Posted January 31, 2014 Share Also anodizing is a much much thinner coating so much lighter in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
droo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Anodising is lighter and more durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master-Yoda Posted August 6, 2014 Share Can anyone recommend a company to anodize rims and hubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolipoli Posted August 6, 2014 Share Anodizing requires a nice smooth raw Aluminium finish. You will get the best results if you hand polish them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patches Posted October 9, 2015 Share Jeepers, Patch. That's tidy... far better than the other 'wood... And what a price! thanks... Wait a minute? Better than which other 'wood? The original colour scheme of this bike, or my Sukuma powder coat job? You better not be knocking my Sukuma makeover. I pride myself on that!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
