Please view the post in the Forum Support forum, it has a poll about making a dark mode (i.e. dark color screens instead of bright white) available. This can be of interest for those that access the forums from a mobile device as dark screens use less battery power. But we need to know whether enough people want this before investing the time to install an extra mode.

I have been told in the past do not powdercoat your rims if you are using wheel discs.

They said the powdercoating was to hard and slick. The locking tabs on the wheel disc could not bite into the surface to hold themselves in place.

That might be true, but I was so impressed with the finish on my frame coming back from the powdercoater, that I wanted to ask the question again.

So to those with 61-64 vehicles. How many of you have lost a wheel disc while driving. What conditions lead to you loosing one.  What are your thoughts between paint and powdercoat here
