Powder coat finish is the best paint finish available imo

can be done to an equivalent standard to a decent spray job and will be stronger

£140 is cheap I think.

Will be more durable compared to spray paint.

ive taken the tyres off ect its a powder coating company opposed to a wheel refurb place


paid £100 for wheels
£20 to get tyres off
then would be £140 painted
£20 to fit tyres
£300 on tyres

just under £600 could have got some brand new team dynamics with tyres for that
