Re: Powdercoating wheels

I dont know how much luck you will have with laquer on polished alloy, but wheel manufacturers (and people who restore them) will traditionally paint or powdercoat, then machine the shiny bits, but leave enough of a keyed finish that will hold a clear coat of some description. They still start crazi...

Re: Sneaky conniving government bar steward spy

Re: Lock down reading.
