i have been trying to decide which one i should do to the stock enkeis. help me out you all. which one do you guys think is better. whats the pros and cons of each? thanks.by the way, im gonna go black

 

I think powder coat is stronger(required for a wheel), but I have seen rsboys painted wheels and then cleared and they look great! He did them himself, and that is pretty cool.

Powdercoat all the way, here is some proof!

 

how does the color look? is it shiny or dull?

 

You can choose the finish just like paint.

 

remember...once you go black, you never go back!

 

I went with 95% gloss black. It's not super shiny, but definitely not flat black.

 

looks like powdercoating will win

 

definitely powder coat...have seen proof. looks awesome.

 

powder coat !

 

I've heard that when you powdercoat it could damage the wheel. The high temps that are used for powdercoat supposedly weakens the strength of the alloy in the wheel. I don't know if this is true or not but I would check it out before powdercoating. Although I have also heard that there is a new Low Temp powdercoating process.

Personally I would love to powdercoat but I would be hesitant to do it because of the possibility of catastrophic failure at speed. If anybody has some concrete dataI would love to hear it because I too would love to powdercoat.

 

Damn, looks really sweet. I was thinking about doing the same thing to mine in the future.

 

definatly powder coat..

 

For the guys that have powder coated what is the prices that you guys are looking at per wheel? And did they have to sand blast first?
