Yes you can.

However you need to be prepare the initial powder film for optimum adhesion required by the paint.

One of the common processes to prepare is to buff or sand paper the surface (the initial powder coated fim) and then use the paint. In term sof chemistry PVDF, PU etc are good options for paints over powder coatings.

Creating a good profile for the paint to adhere to is essential. 80 grit sandpaper or scotchbrite will create a good surface for paint to adhere to.

NO. Powder coating is undertaken by stripping the metal back to a clean, grease free surface. The powder is than sprayed on to the metal and its then fired in a kiln. This melts the power to the metal surface. If there where paints on the surface and these are not powder coated on i.e. enamel paint then the powder coat will not adhere well and the finish cannot be guaranteed

Paints also tend to bubble up when being cooked in an oven at 400 degrees. This ruins the powder coat finish.

What can powder coating be used for?

Powder coating is a substance used for the coating of items such as household appliances, drum hardware, and vehicle parts. The difference between this type of coating and liquid paint is that the powder does not require any solvents to bind to the materials. Powder coating is the process you use to apply a coating without using solvents. This is the newest coating technique in the industry right now. You usually apply this type of coating to create a hard finish on metals and because it allows you the flexibility to apply to a different layer of thickness. You would see this finishing in materials such as aluminium, medium density fibreboards, fusion-bonded epoxy and acrylics, usually on automobile finishing.


How to remove paint from motorcycle wheels?

I would take it to a shop were they do powder coating..and have them "burn" it off in a oven.... That is a ridiculous answer. You do not burn paint off. If you do take it to a place where powder coating is perfomed they will use glass or sand beads to "sandblast" off the paint. To remove paint yourself: use a paint brush and apply lots of paint remover to the wheel. Let paint remover sit on wheel for 20-30 minutes. then scrape off the mess with a plastic scraper, wire brush, and finally a rag. Repeat this process as long as it takes to get all paint off.
