I was thinking of powder coating the wheels. Does anyone know if you can powder coat spoke wheels without taking them all apart?

It does just slide on so when I did mine I used the metallic muffler repair material at the joint and I have no leaks.

I am pretty sure you can ... this is how I would ...
Remove the tire and tube etc, and the bearings and so on and if you're a purist I would mask off the bearing region and the bead seating area.
You may get into some trouble if in the future you broke a spoke and had to replace it ... but not any more than if you broke a spoke when you powderocat it apart and re lace it ... oooo get a few extra spokes and coat them along with the wheel ... so if you break a spoke in the future you can touch that area of the rim and hub up and use the spoke you coated.
Cool.

That color combo in my head looks pretty terrible but who knows. If you're thinking of gloss army green - that may come off a bit like a poser - but if you're thinking matte green and a satin red...

MShipley Serious Thumper Offline SuzukiSavage.com Rocks! Posts: 681	Re: yes...another bobber Reply #12 - 11/04/12 at 05:10:50 Actually I like the rootbeer and cream combo. I love (and almost pourchased a 2010 Bonneville in the chocolate and ceam color). Very retro looking. I wish I could get a 140/80-15 in a whitewall to go with the bike. I have seen some tires painted? Not sure how it holds up under washing and such.
