Reply to "Powder Coating Campy Wheels at home"

garth66"When speed is the only thing that counts"

Since my oven is a basic household oven, the wheels barely fit. This means I had no way to hang the wheels for painting and or curing in the oven. As a result, I broke the powder coating process into 2 steps.
1. Coat the back side of each wheel first and bake it to cure the coating.
2. Coat the front side as well as the inside of the rim and bake again to cure.

Note that the ground clip is not attached to the wheel. Due to all the little nooks and crannies in a Campy wheel, I found the Farraday Cage effect of charging the wheel and paint resulted in little or no coverage in all those recesses. So, I had to blow all the powder off to start over. I pre-heated the wheel in the oven and moved it to my spray booth and sprayed the powder coat onto the hot wheel WITHOUT electrostaticly charging the paint/wheel which resulted in consistent coverage in all the little closed boxed-in areas of the wheel.
