Painted Nismo Wheels

Paint and Clearcoat. They said powdercoat would chip to easy but said if i wanted powdercoat it would be around 300 and some change. Im leaning more towards the paint and clearcoat though.. i dont think powdercoating would be glossy enough for me.

That is so backwards! The body shop I use for all of my work sends me wheels to powdercoat for them because its so much more durable. If they don't properly cure it, it won't hold up, but properly cured, powdercoat is much much more durable than paint any day.

I can powdercoat a piece of aluminum foil and then bend it in half and undo it it all day long and it won't crack.

and as for powdercoat not being glossy, that is wrong too. This is powdercoat, and its glossy:


btw, I'm not looking for wheel work, I keep busy enough with calipers, just trying to correct some misconceptions.

Hey man I ordered my aftermarket wheels a month or so ago and wanted matte black but they were out of stock so the company powdercoated a silver set for me for $200 more. The reason I say this is, I got them to powdercoat them gloss black and they are awesome. I love my powdercoated gloss black wheels. It's def. glossy enough. I thought powdercoating was better also. Oh well haha if its not, they look sick.
