He's as bad as Can
Non-coated rims have also had failures like this, how do you know the coating was to blame or if the wheel had an issue before the coating? If this was such a dangerous thing to do you think there would be threads like the evo one all over the net, there isn’t.

I don't know about the baking, but I do know that the method of paint removal can be a factor. Stripping or degreasing in a hot-tank can cause damage to the metal and lead to embrittlement of the surface which can initiate cracks.
