I have been seriously thinking of powdercoating my rims black. Not quite sure about the hubs though.

Lets see some powdercoated rims / hubs.

Thanks.

If you do the rims you gotta do the hubs, it's the only way it looks right.

Look through Mancha's album.

Here - same bike ... 3 different periods of me modding it - but I've had the black rims/hubs for a year.

Before ...



After ...

I am thinking of doing this too, I probably will when its time for new tires, might go with white walls too if they make em for our bikes.

Ah, geeze. Now does that mean I'm gonna have to screw with the internals of the hub ? I know powdercoating uses a very high heat curing process.

I planned on doing all the dissasembly and re-assembly myseld. (unlacing/lacing/truing).

I am still wondering what it would look like with just the rims done. If I skimp and dont coat the hubs I can leave them fully laced and just detach the spokes at the rim. making it way easier. We will have to see.

or you could mask and spray paint. I'm going to spray paint the SV650 wheels I'm currently putting on my bonnie. Sand down with skotch brite, clean, then paint with either engine paint or wheel paint.

I'm not even going to remove the tires.

I saw a pic once of someone's Bonnie Black (from California I think) that had Black rims/hubs with Copper spokes. The bike had some other 'copper' accents on it as well. Pretty freakin schweet.
