FWIW:

Just one (1) experience with a gentleman who does powder coating.

Had five (5) of my 19" Model A wire wheels sand blasted, cleaned, primed with epoxy primer, and powder coated by an experienced shop owner for $80.00 per wheel.

Priming with epoxy primer was recommended by him because of our high humidity in our coastal area.

Just in case anyone is thinking about powder coating Model A wire wheels, (in an area that has high humidity), John in reply no. 2 is making an excellent point to consider; i.e., sealing all of the bare metal under the powder coating prior to providing the powder coating ..... or possibly wind up with unsightly and harmful rust forming under the powder coating.

Never a bad idea to get work done by experienced people who do this kind of work every day, and by people who have had several years of experience.

So what if it cost a little more, removing rust and cleaning wheels a second time is never worth it.
