Powder coat vs paint OEM wheels
Ok, so I'm in the process of refinishing some OEM 20" GTR wheels I'm in the process of buying. They're in overall good shape, but they have a couple scratches and scoffs here and there. They're currently a stock gunmetal color, and I want to make them a bit lighter. I'm torn between powder coat and taking it to a body shop to get them painted and cleared coated. A rattle spray paint can is not an option. Tell me what's better based on the following:
1) go from gunmetal to a bright silver "OEM" color
2) have that OEM look (glossiness)
3) easy to clean and smooth to the touch (wipes clean easily)
4) cost effective
5) durable

They’re many web pages online to browse through. I just so happen to purchase powder through Rosey’s. I do buy from DuPont and PPG as well, but they don’t carry the range that Rosey’s provide.
