Went out to eat at the new local Ford's Garage last night and came across a Flare Yellow, first one I have spotted in the wild! Of course I had to park next to it.

Yeah, I've heard that as well. It is true, depending on the temperature used in the oven for powder coating

It was worth the risk because this streetcar won't see severe stress. If it were a track car, I don't risk it and use paint.
I was literally just at BBS North America Saturday and this folk tale came up unprovoked from the BBS staff. The story comes from a race team who had powdercoated their wheels multiple times and were using the ovens to bake the powdercoat off of the wheels. The time and temps required to strip the powdercoat from the wheels is much higher than that used to cure powdercoat. All wheels should be stripped chemically or via an abrasive before coating.

Just found a cool looking parking lot thanks to the colorful buildings and the sunset.

Beautiful, congrats! As much as I like that Lexus introduced a new BBS wheel design in the ‘25 MY, I guess I still prefer the ‘22-24 ones, feels a bit more timeless.
