Powdercoat or Paint?
Refurbing my wheels & want opinions on which would be the best option, I resprayed them a year ago and they are still mint, however i have been told that powdercoating would be better?

Are you going to have a shop paint them or DIY.. I only ask because if your going to pay for either one, I would just go with powder coat. In my experience(and most others) powdercoating is much stronger and durable.

I have a choice of two, both asking for same price, hence asking for opinions
May sound silly, but i am getting it re-sprayed (bloody stone chips) splitter, spolier, mirrors & diffuser so want an exact match to wheels, so they need redoing aswell |

Both, mine are getting refurbed today and are being powder'd black and then sprayed in Ferric Grey (the newer M-sport wheel colour).
Its apparently how the wheels are done originally. Best of both worlds...
