Anyone have experience powder coating wire wheels?  I have an old set of 
wheels which are sound, but ratty-looking (many coats of old paint, rough 
surface finish).  I'm thinking of having them stripped & powder coated.  I 
will probably have them sand blasted rather than chemically stripped, the 
chemical would be impossible to completely remove from all the crevices and 
would probably ruin the powder coat -- so I think sand-blasting is the way 
to go.  Will the powder coat get around & behind all the spokes?  I don't 
expect to be able to adjust the spokes afterwards, they're pretty much 
frozen in position already but that's OK, the wheels are round & pretty true 
and have been for many years.  Any comments/advice?
