    Managed to get mine spray painted and IMO you get a better finish with wet paint over powder coating but you're right the durability can be an issue. The powder coating is less likely to chip over the paints lacquer and also cleaning results in a lot less visible scratches too. Good price though for getting a set of wheels done ....

    You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.

    Totally agree, wet paint gives far better finish. The guy I use can powder coat any colour as long as you can give me a paint code. My Tarmacs are getting painted Azure Black to match the car
