I'm sure it will be done one day...

BUT!!!!

It will take a mad scientist! MAHHHWAHAHAHHAHAHAHA

;)

Bump, Has anyone ever done it before?

they are plastic...as in won't conduct electricity, plus, yeah they will melt

Really? hmmm.......

Really? hmmm.......

right...isn't the reason you can't powder plastic because you can't get the powder to stick to it?

yes. the powder is charged to stick to the part being coated.

if you got mad jdm p/c'ing skillz playa's it can be done.

Edit, nevermind:rofl:

Meeners, aren't you the master of the aresol can? I'd imagine you could powder coat your rims, and follow behind with a perfectly matched can for those center caps :D

I forget the type of paint, but I used a ceramic based crate paint, that looks JUST LIKE powdercoat, and doesn't flake off, it kinda bonds to plastic VERY well.

I would "think" and ***... this is a long shot.

What about static electricity? Wouldn't that work... you are making a connection to the item. Static would actually hold the powder to the product. Then from there baking is still possible.

But then again... I'm not a MAAAADDDD SCIENTIST. :D

Would you rub the center cap on your sweater? :confused:

Make some aluminum center caps, then powdercoat them :D

Now that is the baller way right there SeRbAn!!


BRent

Would you rub the center cap on your sweater? :confused:

LOL!

Seriously, Serban brought up a very good idea. I'm sure you could get a shop to make some aluminum center caps relatively cheap, depending on the quality, and the thickness. They could shoot the plastic caps with a ray trace machine and import it to CAD, and whammo, out come pretty milled/pressed/whatever centercaps in whatever metal you want

So there is no way to just use the OEM plastic center caps :( ?

Spill it.....

Fine dammit... :laugh:

Are these OEM Plastic Caps?
Yes.

Are they powdercoated?
Yes

Does it stick? Is it bonded?
The answer is yes, if you want to doubt it, come to Ohio and come see... I took a piece of metal to the rear section and tried to scrape some off - no dice

How????
After a little bit of craftiness, quick thinking, and a little of mine and sinistersntra91's money on the table something was figured out - If you want the answer to that please ask sinistersntra91 :)
