you need to dismount the tires to powder coat or paint rims
you can't tape it to keep the rust out of the crack

fyi i powder coated my steelies with an eastwood pc setup in an old oven
to avoid handling the powder, i dusted them right on the oven rack
and carefully slid the rack in
i made a rotisserie out of wood and a bearing to rotate the rim
yeah it smoked a bit but never affected the pc
They are chrome rims, didn't think they needed powder coated. I'm reluctant to grind away at a brand new caliper, I'd rather fix the wheel issue.
