here's the thing with powdercoating....you cant do it on wheels are arent forged. the heating and curing proccess will cause internal cracks in the metal. which may cause a spoke to snap on you under heavy conditions. powder coating is good for the evo's cuz i think their enkei's are forged. not sure about that. powdercoating lasts a long long time though.

anyone have any experience with the duplicolor wheel paint?

Does Duplicolor make white paint. I'm guessing so. Anyone have a picture?
