[DeTomaso] Campy ?Powder Coat? Code Needed

[Chuck Adkinson]

I dipped my original wheels (6) in 1990 or so and they came out of the tank
perfectly clean with a nice surface for painting. I then painted them a 1992
Mercedes silver and after many years on the road they still look great to
this day. Nothing to it. I attached one wheel to a shop wall for holding
various hoses, cables etc. The rest have Goodyear street tires mounted to
them and are stored in my shop.

I have had 100's of things sand blasted and I don't know of a powder 
coater who wouldn't sand blast as the first step.
