[FC] Painting or Powdercoating Wheels

[Paul Steinberg]

Paint is better on wheels.... I have had some tractor wheels powder coated and
the coating is too heavy for wheels.  To get a gloss they use a heavy material
and it looks OK, but paint is better in my opinion..... Paul in CT....

  Hey everyone:

  I am undecided on whether to have the wheel for my FC painted of
  powdercoated.

  I guess I am asking if anyone has had problems with powdercoted wheels.
  Peeling, chipping etc?

  Painting would be much less money but may not be as durable.  I have been
  considering painting the rims Argent Silver which is the color GM used on
  their Ralley wheels back in the '60's.  Sort of a sportier look than
  painting them to match the body.
