I powdercoated my stock rims and 5 spokes on 2 different wheels cracked straight through after about 6 months, just something to think about. Obviously this doesnt happen to everyone or often even but you never think it's gonna happen to you. Don't mean to be a downer!I choose red tho!

no
but
you can spray with plastidip, then paint over the plastidip. Later on, you can remove the plasti dip with SEM Solve or an eraser wheel, and it will take the paint off too. That's what I do when I want to see what a paint would look like before I make it permanent.

You CAN remove powdercoating from your wheels. As long as you do not do it more than once, especially if you powdercoated in a candy color. Most will sandblast ur wheels before powdercoating which means that you cannot have too many layers of color, it will make it very difficult to remove, and very expensive. But if you do, you can always have them chemically dipped to remove any and everything from the wheel.....good luck!!! Powdercoat them red, or bronze....would look awesome!!
