I used the "wheel clear coat" and it was junk! nozzle would drip out clear.. leaving drops on your wheel.. I would just use any regular clear for that.. The paint though I have heard is decent.. But I always use a basic spray paint..

Cost me less than $20. So that (in your case) would be an extra $220 to go towards moving faster.[/QUOTE]
Or $220 towards the next time you have to do it cuz it wont last as long...and do you have a better picture, cuz for some reason mine look like they have more gloss to it, oh or it might just be that you used a rattle can

That's funny, because I have yet to repaint them and I've had it done since November.
I don't give a flying **** about gloss, I like a flatter look.
Congrats on pissing away that extra $220. Let's just hope your wheels don't break.
I'd post a better picture, but I don't want to **** you off.

Alright well I like the gloss, so powder coating works for me, you like the flat look, so painting works for you, I won't get pissed, post em up. Well if mine break ill have you paint my next ones

Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought that powdercoating just grabs onto the metal and does not go into metal. I was thinking that that anodizing process is what will go into metal, not powdercoating.

someone already said it correctly. high temp powdercoating can cause microfractures in the metal, making it weaker so under heavy track use there's a possibility of failure. low temperature powdercoating would be the best option, because powdercoating is a hell of a lot more durable than paint, and there risk of failure is eliminated. I'll be painting mine only because there's nobody who does powdercoating of any kind around here, and becuase i don't really give a **** about my stock BBS's. i just want to paint them black to hold me until i get the RE30's.
