^^ Not a big fan of the plasti-dip material. The matte looks very cheap and unprofessional. The gloss coating makes it look pretty good though.
I also want to paint my wheels. They're all in good condition except for one (FR), it has sum curb-rash. I was going to powder-coat all white for 400 but I thought some of you guys would have a better idea. My friend has the sanding machine for the curb rash. What kind of paint/material should i use??

If that's $400, that seems pretty steep. Take a look at the 18 inch sport sedan rims on the previous page - stripping, prep and powdercoating was $200 all up. Maybe shop around for prices?

They look stock painted. If I can get it for 200, that would be amazing. The average price to fix curb rash and repaint is 120 for one rim. I saw a few pages back 18"oem wheels painted gloss gray, came out good. I'm willing to paint them myself if I can make it look as pro as that. Any advice? Ill look for 200 powder coat deals, I doubt I'll find such a deal.

PC for me was quoted 200 per wheel cheapest I found was 120 per wheel if I take my own tires off.
