Refinishing wheels

[rfkellner at snet.net (Rick Kellner)]

Has anyone used the home powder coating kits and your oven to do alloy
wheels?  I was thinking of picking up a used oven in the spring when our
town has a "bulk" pick up.  If I used the oven in the house I would be
the next thing roasting in it... One piece at a time.
Rick.

No but I would like to.  It comes with all the grinding and buffing
wheels
to clean off your existing Clear Coat, etc...
