Again, maybe he'd sandblast them. I have no idea. He does painting for us and that's about all I know. When he says labor and stuff, I guess I assumed he hand sanded stuff like he does the race plastic. Whatever the case, there's labor involved and I really can't see getting them painted for less than what was stated for powder coating.

I can't imagine that he can paint them after prepping for less than $60 a rim and make them look as good as these do. These have the clearcoat and are smoother than the car's paint. I love them and hope they hold up...
