Julian (the Powderman) doesn't really think that the heat is a problem, but he unwilling to risk somebody breaking/bending a rim and then blaming him (and maybe suing). He says there are too many people "out there on the internet" that think it is a problem. There is another thread somewhere arguing the reality of powdercoating and its weakening of aluminum rims.

He also seems reluctant to take on new customers lately, and his turnaround time has been kinda bad too. His price is usually unbeatable though.
