I would just paint them. I did my Racing Hart CP8 on my Civic. Paint looks nicer (more glossy) And powder coat still chips off, but you can't touch it up like if it was painted. Another thing is the powder coat fades from heat and sun.

which is more durable? I'm out in the country so I encounter rocks and dirt roads very often.

Cant you just buy Spray paint at auto zone with clear coat and paint a few layers on your items you want to powder coat?

i know a lot of people that do that and i never seen anyone pay over 20 bucks hahahaha... Cheap mofos i guess :dontknow:

There is no way I would do that and cheap mofos pretty much sums it up. I dont get how someone could get a $20,000 + vehicle and then want to spray paint the rims? Just blows my mind. I'd just rather save up and get it done right.

mine are sprayed, and holding up really well. i've only had to touch em up maybe 3 times. and i did tha mod at about 4k miles, and now have 37k miles. they still look nice,and do the job till i decide for powdercoat,or aftermarket rims. cheap fix for now:biggrin:

yeah I did the duplicolor wheel paint thing cuz I wanted a cheap fix until I could buy rims, but damn they are all spotty and crap, they do look a lot better from about 10+ feet though I'm buying rims asap.:biggrin:

 

[Nighthawk2207]

HAHA... guess I need to shut up sometimes. I tried to paint them last weekend and they looked horrible. I spent like 2 hours getting all the paint off. Oh well. Still looking to powdercoat though. Just dont think I will get it done by x-fest:frown:

Well I hate to say it but thats what I'm going to be doing when I get mine powdercoated. But I have a company vehicle I can use while the rims are off. Guy says if I give him the rims on friday then he could have them ready by sunday. So thats not too bad.

 

[Nighthawk2207]

well i have another car i can drive a 2006 Pontiac G6 GTP so ill be fine without my truck for a few days i guess......
