Also, magnesium has a tendancy to out-gas anyway. Sometimes powdercoating
Pantera wheels fails because after the paint is sprayed on, when the wheels
go into the oven, gasses trapped deep inside the pores of the wheel expand
under the paint, lifting it and ruining it.
For that reason, instead of having my wheels powdercoated, a couple of
years go I treated them to a first-class paint job at a body shop. My 10-inch
wheels were made in 1989, and the finish was a bit more spiffy than that
applied by the factory in the 1970s, but not garish by any means. It had just
a tiny bit of metal flake in it.
I was able to perfectly match it to a GM silver. Here's my typically long
post (actually Dave Bell's short reply to my post, with my post underneath
it) with the paint code etc.
