Also, i'm somewhat new to powdercoating, but is it completely or like 99% unaffected by brake dust, or is that still a big issue? Like, will the powder coat pit? Also, scratches from rocks and sand, are they more or less likely with PC versus stock...and yes I'm still talking about the Rays.

No i dont recommend anyone anymore! I used to recommend people to another shop when i was to busy! Now there work has went down hill and I rather no put my name on it a recommend anyone sorry! Well lets start off with this nothing is invincible! I tell people weather its paint or powder when cleaning it if you wouldn't use it on the paint on your car dont use it to clean powder! Some wheel cleaners have an acid and that will mess a wheel up fast! Powder is basically a plastic! Its much stronger that paint when done right! Brake dust should not hurt it but I also never had someone leave anything on powder for ever! Powder can still scratch but is harder to do than paint! Black powder coat will show fine scratches just like black paint. Powder is about 2 x as thick as paint. You can buff powder just like paint if you know how to do it with powder.

Im thinking about getting some silver VS-XX powdercoated gold. How hard would it be to find the paintcode for the gold vs-xx?
