Powder Coating?

I was wondering what its good for. Because I was thinking of maybe coating some stuff, perhaps my wheel covers or something. Anyone got any websites on how? Or old thread links?

the rims on my red 91 are powder coated. it was $65 per wheel.
part of the prosses of powder coating is baking the parts is an oven.
so wheel covers would melt, no good.

195/60/15 ... lol I used a tire size calculator earlier and compared to my 175/70/13's my speedo reads 5 mp/h too slow with the GSR's on.

Alright....with the 195/50/15 the speedo is just about right on...i think it might read like .1 slow but thats nothing.
