I thought I'd chime in on this as I am looking into powder coating my MR BBS's. I posted this in another powder coating BBS thread too(after I noticed it was old as hell haha). I believe one of the main myths of heating up magnesium ALLOY wheels is bad because of improper curing procedures. I'm no powder coat guru, but it is a fact that some places just rush it, instead of slowly and gradually raising the temperature in the oven. The larger the item, the bigger the factor of the heating and cool down process becomes. You all know that metal doesn't like to change temperature really fast.

You have to slowly and gradually raise the temperature of the part to it's curing temperature, and that part needs to come back to ambient temperature very slowly as well too.

I had my evo IX BBS wheels powder coated. I'm not sure how my powder coater does it but he's done magnesium for me more than aluminum. He does a great job. So I at least know it's possible. I think I'm going to go with gloss black again.
