They are wheels. If it were to be a hot rod and show piece then 2 Pac with what ever colour and finish you want. If they are for everyday use on the road then Powder coat. If they are offroad or you want to do it yourself then VHT in a can in whatever engine enamel or caliper paint colour that tickles your fancy with the urethane clear over the top. Its not that hard.
Powdercoat - $400-500 including blasting
2 Pac - start at $600 and the sky is the limit
DIY using spray cans from Autobarns - $100 tops.
Powder Coating is a harder finish but not as fine a finish as paint. Painting is heaps harder to do especially if you wanna do it yourself.To have them professionally done will cost you a heap.It all comes down to time with a professional painter.Most wheels even aftermarket are painted .If you want the finish to be higher quality go paint , if you want them to last the distance as offroad wheels then powder coating is best

Give your opinion by all means but dont be a useless troll.
i did my own on my landy turned out great did need a few touch ups after off roading but it was simple to do
first i wash them real good then wet n dry sand them back 1000-1200 grit (i think) then paint all the edges and hard to get spots first lightly then go 4 it i used 1 can per wheel and i got it from bunnings cost about $ 15 a can
Geez fellas have a wank and relive the pressure!! And yes you cant beat 2-pack over powder coat, 2-pack is less flexible, 100% better finish, harder to chip and chemical resistant. You should know that, your an qualified expert spraypainter aren't you? Try wiping overspray off powder coat with thinners or even a good quality prepsol and watch it melt. What about when you get a chip in powder coat, overtime it just lifts off.S14
Hows Go Blow a Goat grab ya lol
Hey its an opinion and contrary to common belief everyone can have one.
I have painted wheels and any painter will tell you powder coat still wont give you the same finish as paint .
That being said powder Coating is damm good these days .
