thank you in advance.

A few years back I had a set of after-market wheels (Sportec) powder coated. My experience was, although in theory powder coating is suppose to create a more durable, longer lasting finish than traditional paint, achieving excellent coverage was a problem. In fact, I noticed this to be the case with a number of wheel sets apart from my own. I guess it all comes down to the individual who is doing the work. Nevertheless, I can say from experience when it comes to painting wheels, I've had nothing but excellent results when using traditional painting methods.
