I was told not to powder coat wheels as it's more likely to get chipped when changing tyres.

Let us know where you get it done whichever way you do it.

I think I will probably just spray them myself I reckon.

How easy is it to remove the rear wheel?

Pretty easy. Bit of wood under centre stand helps.

Wrapping places don't like bikes. They prefer hydrodipping.

I've seen people do Bike wrapping online but editing tools are wonderful things.

You'd Probs have to send the Bike away.
