Question Question on Powder Coating center caps.

Hey I'm planning on powder coating my 95 gt rims. My question is can you powder coat the center caps? Will they melt due to the heat of the oven?? Has anybody done this? Any pics?

Any help would be appriciated, thanks in advance.

I cannot imagine for a second that you could PC your inserts. Just find a color that will look good and paint them.

+1 with Jazzer.
The powder clings to parts with a static charge, so the material to be coated must transmit electricity, plastic does not.
The curing oven is in the neighborhood of 400 degree Fahrenheit, your center caps would turn to goo shortly after entering the oven.
