Too Afraid to Ask

Powder coating is a way to paint metal parts by using a special powder that sticks to the surface and is then heated to make it hard. It's a popular choice for changing the color of car rims.

Technical Definition

Powder coating is a finishing process that applies a dry powder to a surface, which is then cured under heat to form a hard, durable layer. It's commonly used for wheels and other automotive parts to enhance appearance and protect against corrosion.
