Restarting My '70 Nova Project

[the old grind]

I've seen tons of wheels powder coated and things like that only happen when contamination is under the powder.

I'd want them acid-etched as if to be plated before I'd count on powder coating to fill those nooks and crannies and adhere properly once they go in to bake. That said, IMO it wouldn't be much different to prep for paint.

My fall back plan is to do that if they can't get the powder coating right. He said that usually recoating them works a lot better, as anything om the crevices gets baked out the first time. I'll wait and see.
Also, The color really isn't what Argent Silver is supposed to look like, too bright, so I ordered more powder from Eastwood that is specifically designed to replicate it.
