RAL: 9006 White Aluminium
Tiger Drylac: 49/90380
Anyone had any experience with either powder color? RAL is a German spec I believe.

While powder coated wheels are quite common, the drawback with typical thick film powders is that incipient wheel cracks will be masked by the coating itself.
Research ceramic coating services and color options. Coating thickness is thin along with other properties (resistant to solvents, brake fluids, heat, corrosion, etc.).

In any recoating process, the wheel should be stripped, cleaned and any surface finish applied/prepped (e.g. polishing, beat blasting, etc.) before recoating.
