It will last longer.

Painting wheels will always lead to eventual chipping issues. Powder-coating is the only way to go as it's much more durable.

PREP is everything, with wheels we even like to sandblast them sometimes and degrease thoroughly because of all the tire shine people use...that causes a lot of the failures...
