Powder coating definitely has its advantages. I've been powder coating for about 3 years now as a side hobby/business. I started with a eastwood gun as well and eventually upgraded. My oven could probably do 4 wheels at a time but it wouldn't really be worth it. Rim flange kills a truck rim in no time. The powder will far outlast the rim. From new a wheel only really need polished 2 times a year to keep it in good shape. It's the wheels that have been neglected is why I want this machine. Even to powder coat a old wheel it would require a bunch of sanding and then etching. Then coated baked and waited for it to cool which takes a while. The industrial machines really are great take a corroded wheel to mirror in 30 mins.
