I dont think you can just use paint to powdercoat wheels ... although I guess you could get them profesionally sprayed in NHBP.

Yea that looks pretty clean...I would be willing to run with those for a while...Cause I want to do the s-tech suspension before I purchase new wheels.

No. Powder coating is exactly what it sounds like...coating a part with colored powder. The powder is then heated to literally melt it over the part, which when cooled, hardens like a second skin. It's much more durable than auto or spray paint and I recommend it to anyone wanting to paint their wheels for the long-haul.

I think I know who you're talking about. A couple months ago, I was talking to a guy in Jersey who was going to charge me $200 for a set of 4 18" HFP wheels. If I hadn't planned to do them myself, I would still drop them off and have him do them. But the price is so good, I might still do it.
Lemme go through my email and see if I can find the guy's name and website. He was a really nice dude.
