powder coat vs. painting
I don't know if this would be the right section to post this question, but I plan on painting/powder coating my AP1 wheels bronze. I just need to know which one will "last" longer and resist chips better. Thanks for the help

Powder coating will definatly last longer and resist chips better, But once powdercoated thats the color they are going to stay. Cant really switch colors very easily after powdercoated like you could if you just painted them.

Yea I was leaning more towards the powder coating but the local shop said that I shouldn't. I'm sure the powder coating would come out with a nicer more even finish too. Any one with some pics please post I'd love to see um.

A little media blast or a chemical peel and they can be any color you want

sand blasting is a good way to take it off too
