powder coat or paint

[bluerocket]

im looking at having my wheels painted anthracite, to rly set my 197 off, do u reckon it would b better to have them powder coated or sprayed? i want a quality long lasting finish that wont discolour in a couple of years

thanks for your help

Powder coating provides a much longer lasting finish. Certainly the route i would go down.

Yep, powdercoat

Powdercoating without doubt.
Had some sprayed and never again, chipped within weeks.

Just had the Freelqnder wheels powdercoated anthracite,a colour called "iodine"

If the wheels don't need any form of repair you can get them done relatively cheap, just find a local powder coater.

can you get a high gloss finish from powder coating? Be more specific gloss black? Flattened and smooth to touch, see some pretty poor finish from painting.

 

[GrumpyTwig]

Pretty glossy?

Awesome!!!!
