I blow my powder over everything except the parts i'm tryin to coat so stock up.Its nice to try out a few different colors but the main colors i'm going to order more that 2 lbs worth.I'm not sure on calculating yet,i just buy and spray.Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum. You can probably do 4 rims with about 2 pounds of powder, I'd buy a couple of pounds for a frame too in case you have to do a second coat. A pair of bike rims you can probably do with 1 pound but I always buy more than I need. Its nice to have some left over rather than running short. You'll always find more to coat to use it up!

Best of luck.

Welcome to the forums...

I haven't done any bike frames but I've done automotive wheels. I've used 3lbs for a set of 4 19x8 wheels. Depending on coverage you can get away with doing an entire set of 17 inch wheels with about 2lbs. I normally order 1lb for every 1 or 2 wheels depending on the powder's coverage and the diameter of the wheel.
