Painting Wheels (professionally). Thoughts?

Wow, we prep, sandblast, and powdercoat wheels all the time, and we never charge that much.... Jeeezz It would be cheaper for you to ship us your wheels all the way over here to me than pay that much for powdercoating.

BUT, powdercoating IS the way to go for wheels no doubt. It is 4 times more durable, last longer, is more brake dust and chemical resistant, etc. Paint on wheels is NO match for powdercoating.

If done the way you guys do it it works awesesome. Buttt someplaces just rough up the surface and just powder coat them. Then it chips of and sh!t. Make sure what ever you do to your wheels make sure that they prep them extremly well.
