    powdercoat or paint??

    What you guys prefer when it comes to changing the colors of rims and things of that such? I have black rims on my buell now

    And i want to change the color to the blue (hero blue) to match the rest of my bike


    This is the look im going for...

    So should i get these painted or powdercoated? And any suggestions where to get it done at?

    i paint cars... and im 80% sure powder coat is a lot more durable and chip resistant... but its deff always prep work b4 paint no matter what, that makes the difference when it comes to paint adhesion!
